The first grandma of the United States is having a hard time letting go of granddaughters Sasha and Malia Obama.
“They are at the age where they read and play with each other so Grandma is beginning to feel left out,” Marian Robinson admitted to an audience of young children Wednesday who participated in the Department of Education ‘s “Read to the Top” program.
No doubt the “very big and very beautiful” White House and the girls’ around-the-world trip with their parents doesn’t help getting in that extra bonding time.
She shared that the time they do spend together is hardly in front of a television — she allows her granddaughters to watch only one hour of television per day. Instead, the girls partake in some of their favorite activities, such as playing computer games and “Monopoly.”
Keeping it all in the family, Robinson was joined by Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, who happens to be best friends with her son, Oregon State University’s head men’s basketball coach Craig Robinson.
