Former President Barack Obama transferred executive power to Donald Trump on Jan. 20, 2017, but that wasn't the only memorable exchange that took place that day.
During a recent visit to "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," Michelle Obama recalled the awkward moment that incoming first lady Melania Trump handed her a ribbon-wrapped gift, which she hadn't anticpated.
In an interview set to air Thursday, Obama told the host that the problem wasn't that the gift was unwelcome. It simply was a surprise, given the occasion.
"Well, there’s all this protocol," she explained. "I mean, this is like a state visit, so they tell you that you’re going to do this, they’re going to stand here."
However, they don't tell you what to do when someone surprises you with a bright blue box from Tiffany & Co.
"Never before do you get this gift, so I’m sort of like 'OK. What am I supposed to do with this gift?'" she said. "And everyone cleared out and no one would come and take the box. And I’m thinking do we take the picture with (it)? ... No staff, no one. I was like, what do you do with the box?"
So, for one meme-worthy moment, she held the package, looked around and appeared baffled about how to proceed. That is until someone else stepped in to help.
"And then my husband saved the day," she smiled. "See he grabbed the box and took it back inside."
But what was inside the buzzed-about box?
"It was a lovely frame," she said.

I mean, oh my Gawwwwd...

“...so I’m sort of like ‘OK. What am I supposed to do with this gift?’” she said. “And everyone cleared out and no one would come and take the box. And I’m thinking do we take the picture with (it)? ... No staff, no one. I was like, what do you do with the box?”
There’s the kind of brain power and decision making that made her a top flight lawyer /mega sarc
Maybe it wasn’t anticipated, but doesn’t she know how to react when someone hands her a gift? Smh... not the sharpest, gracious or most attuned First Lady we’ve ever had
I have to wonder about someone who is flustered by a gift box.
Express your thanks and politely hold onto the box. If your staff is apoplectic about it, one of them would eventually have run out and taken it before the photo. Otherwise, hold it nicely and smile.
Eight years in public life at the highest level of our nation and Michelle didn’t learn how to think on her feet about such little matters?

How about: “Oh, what a nice surprise, thank you so much”.
I think it was Freudian whether a slip or no. It was a harbinger of the “frame” job Trump would be dealing with very soon thereafter.
Google images....gift michelle to Laura Bush. There is a video of Michelle handing a gift to Laura...and Laura holds onto it. It looks like a bigger box than the Tiffany box.
She’s a liar. See my last post
No kidding? Wow, great find.
Mrs Obama, a completely classless FORMER first lady...
Michelle says that Melania made a BIG faux pas...which was a blatant lie.
And Michelle couldn't wait to dump the gift as any gracious host would.....not...
Michelle who?
It was an athletic supporter.
Because, you know, it has a penis.
According to VF one of the top 100 most stylish women in the US.
That’s actually a pretty thoughtful gift for the circumstances.
The mere mention of the hate filled Ellen Degenerate hits a nerve with me. She spent her recent birthday hating Trump rather than celebrating, then claiming she is “not political”.
