If you love Michelle Obama, we suggest sitting down and possibly snuggling up in a blanket fort while watching the following clips.

On The Late Show with Stephen Colbert last night, the First Lady was her usual flawless self – she revealed some silly White House gossip, discussed her Let Girls Learn initiative and straight up inspired us all.

First, two children, Stephen and Michelle, chilled out in a blanket fort. Seriously, if Michelle Obama wanted a career in acting after leaving the White House, it's all hers.

They also used their slumber party time to touch on her education and healthy eating initiatives.

In the more conventional part of the interview, Michelle Obama disclosed Obama's bad photoshoot habits, shared her feelings on moving out of the White House and even did a hilarious impression of Barack Obama at the dinner table.

The First Lady went on to comment on Melania Trump plagiarizing her speech, cheekily saying, "Yeah, that was tough."

She also told the audience about Let Girls Learn, which promotes education for young girls worldwide. The clip also includes footage from the documentary We Will Rise, which she appears in.

We just wish Colbert would have asked her what she thought of Southside With You.
