Former President George W. Bush shared some funny anecdotes about his mom during remarks at the George W. Bush Presidential Center on Wednesday, one day after Barbara Bush died at the age of 92.
First up, he shared how the former first lady — and first mom — joked with her doctor shortly before her death that the reason the 43rd president is the way he is was because she “drank and smoked” while she was pregnant with him:
