The Washington Post’s Krissah Thompson reports that the first lady explained how she invites her own daughters to pitch in.
. @FLOTUS to daughters, "Instead of tweeting what you had for lunch…tweet what you learned at school & share it w/ girls around the world"

The first lady neglected to mention that here in America, our sons and daughters in public schools have made it a habit to tweet about what they’re eating for what’s being served to them as lunch.

So, why not share something you learned at school?

Yep. Plus, @flotus is pretty sensitive about other kids tweeting about their crappy Obama-fied school lunches==> https://t.co/o8sCWwyDjH

@michellemalkin @FLOTUS Maybe the only thing the girls learned at school is that the Obama-fied lunches suck. 🙂
