The Last Word In ‘First’ Posts

Malia and Sasha Obama Check In For First Day At School Interminable List of Other ‘Firsts’ Follows

The Obama children, Malia and Sasha, attended the first day at their new school in Washington, D.C. today.

A spokesperson for the Obamas said this marked the first time Michelle Obama took the children to school adding, “It’s the first time the children used the front door of the school, it’s the first time they met their new classmates and it’s the first time I’ve had to run down a list like this instead of answering questions about the economy or the Middle East.”

In other breaking news, this was the first time Malia and Sasha sat in their new chairs in homeroom and the first time they each had a drink from the water fountain outside the principal’s office.

Other firsts on this amazing day of firsts included the first time the new First Daughters made a right turn into the school parking lot, the first time they ate spaghetti in the school cafeteria, and the first time each was called on in class to tell everyone their names and a little bit about themselves.

Sasha wore blue jeans and a brown hooded jacket (both for the first time) and Michelle Obama wore a maroon coat cinched at the waist (the first time that detail was ever deemed newsworthy) and gray slacks.

Malia obviously wore something from The Gap because she was the only one whose outfit MSNBC didn’t describe in rapturous detail.

MSNBC scooped other news organizations by predicting that later on Monday would mark the first time Sasha and Malia came home after school and tomorrow would be the first time they attended their second day at the prestigious Sidwell Friends School.

I hope we don’t have to listen to a list of “firsts” every day for the next four years….
