Related: About this forumMalia goes to prom
Nothing like getting ready for your high school prom in the White House! President Obama sat down with Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan for an interview this week, and dished on his daughter Malia's first trip to the memorable dance.
"Malia did have her first prom," the President, 52, said in the chat, which aired on Live! With Kelly and Michael on Friday, May 30.
Ripa, 43, who was seated with the POTUS and Strahan in the Blue Room of the White House, expressed delight at the news and asked for more details. "May we ask, did she go with a boy to the prom?" she inquired.
Ever the protective father, President Obama responded, "I think this is all classified information."

Yes, it's a thrill to share such events with one of our favorite families. Watching the girls grow up so tall and accomplished, yet kind and polite by all reports. I never tire of reminding people that even last year I could probably walk under Sasha's outstretched arm without ducking. Really. I'm an Irish elf. They fascinate me in so many ways.

That's funny. I'm sure if she did have a date the guy felt just a little added pressure having secret service agents with him.
