Our son, yes, the one who is getting married, wanted to make a cake as a tribute to my mom, his grandma, who had just passed away. And I get choked up when I think about it, the fact that he wanted to do that. Well, not only did he want to make it, he wanted his little brothers who are 14 and 12 to help him make it. And our daughter, who's 28, was sort of supervising the whole thing.
And we're sitting there watching. All I could see was disaster happening. and the cake turned out beautifully. Our son, Avery, wanted it to be at the reception. So we get to the reception where there's a table of desserts, these beautiful, well-catered desserts. And in the middle are two gigantic red velvet cakes that look like a 12-year-old made them. There was icing everywhere.

There was coconut not quite on each piece. But the good news was that every single piece of that cake was gone. And I'm here to tell you, it was a delicious cake and a real tribute to my mom.

Hey, it's Craig Robinson here, and let me tell you, being sick is no joke. But you know what's even tougher? Feeling like you can't take the time to rest and recover because you've got bills to pay or a job to keep. You know, being a coach, even though I was afforded paid sick time, it was the type of job that you really try and muscle through for your team. And I have done that.

It made me realize, though, that it is tough for folks who don't have the benefit of paid sick time. It's not only tough on the individual and their families, it's also tough on your coworkers. Maybe you, like so many Americans, have felt that stress too, wondering what your boss will think or if your paycheck will take a hit.

And it was interesting because Barack wasn't worried about it because he was more of a transient kid. His mom was an anthropologist and traveled the world. And he was born and raised in Hawaii, but spent time in Indonesia. His mom was in, she wasn't there. He didn't know his father. He grew up with more instability. In that sense. And thought moving is not a big deal.

You know, there's seven and 10. We didn't move at all. My mother, when she left the White House, she moved back into the home that we grew up in. So that's how sort of steady and stable and secure we were. And I was terrified that this was going to ruin them. You were.
