Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I hoatu e tētahi kotiro iti ki a Michelle Obama tētahi whakamoemiti i te Wenerei e hiahia ana te nuinga o ngā wāhine pakeke ki te whakarongo. I te wā o tētahi pātai me te whakautu i te Whare Pōtae mō te rā ā-tau o Take our Daughter's and Son's to Work Day, ka pātai atu tētahi kōtiro nohinohi ko Anya Brodie ki a Michelle Obama mō tōna tau. 'E 51 oku tau,' te whakautu a Michelle Obama. Ka whakahua ano!: I patai tetahi kotiro iti ko Anya Brodie ki a Michelle Obama mo tona tau, a, i te korero a Obama ki a ia he 51-tau te pakeke o te kotiro iti kaore i taea e ia te whakapono. Homai he awhi ki ahau: I tino koa a Michelle Obama i te whakamoemiti a Anya Brodie i tono ia ia ki runga i te atamira kia taea ai e ia te awhi nui ki a ia. Ka karanga te kotiro i runga i te miharo, 'Kei te iti rawa koe!' E ai ki ngā pūrongo a CNN, i tono a Obama i a Brodie ki te whakahoki i tana whakamoemiti ki te hopuoro. Ka mea anō koe. Homai te hopuoro ki a ia,' ka mea a FLOTUS ki te kaiwhakahaere. 'He taitamariki rawa koe mō te 51 tau te pakeke!' te whakautu a te kotiro iti. I tino pāngia a Michelle Obama e te whakapehapeha o te kotiro iti, nā reira i karangatia ia e ia ki runga i te atamira ki te pōwhiri nui i a ia. I tae atu ki te hui ko ngā tamariki o ngā kaimahi o te Whare Pōtae, ngā tamariki o te Boys and Girls Club, me ētahi tamariki hoki o D.C Child and Family Services.
