A 10 year old girl who was visiting at the White House’s annual ‘Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day’ gave Michelle Obama a different present – her unemployed father’s resumé.
Charlotte Bell, who was called on during a questions and answers session, stood up to cross the room and walked directly over to the first lady.
The girl’s mother, who works in the executive branch, said the family had joked about Charlotte making a pitch for her dad but had never thought she’d actually try it.
Handing Michelle Obama the paper, she said:
“My dad’s been out of a job for three years and I wanted to give you his résumé”.
The mother of two looked taken aback by the gesture, and hugged the child on stage. She told reporters:
“Well it’s a little private, but she’s doing something for her dad. Alright?”
Holding up the letter to Charlotte, she told her she “Got it.”
