First Lady on The Simpsons? D'oh!

First Lady Michelle Obama (voice by Angela Bassett) made an appearance at Lisa's school on "The Simpsons", urging the kids to be nice to the nerdy little girl.

Wearing her signature cardigan, pop-bead pearls and wide belt, the cartoon Mrs. Obama tells Lisa she knew about her because of her garden blog. (Ahem!)

Then she uses her remarkably buff arms to help the Marines open the helocopter door.

About Susan Reimer

Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
