Michelle Obama really isn’t asking for much. Appearing on Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the First Lady opened up about what she wants to do after her husband leaves office: Open a window.

“I can’t open my windows, I really can’t,” Obama told host Stephen Colbert. “The window opens if I press it in the car. Everybody’s like ‘Oh my God what was that?’”

“We’ll get you a canister of fresh air,” Colbert told Obama.

Obama, who is apparently just like us, said she’s really looking forward to getting to go to Target and to drive.

The First Lady was also asked if she had any advice for the next first spouse.

"Without naming names, if we have a female president next, would you leave a letter for her husband?" Colbert asked Obama. "What would you say? What’s the thing he needs to know more than anything else about the job?"

Obama replied: "Follow your passion; just be you."
