"Because he was on that island time,” noted Craig, referring to Barack's Hawaiian roots.

"Well, I've got this husband who's like, when it's time to leave, it's 3 o'clock, he's getting up and going to the bathroom," continued Michelle. "And I was like dude, dude... 3 o'clock departure means you've done all that, you know. Don't start looking for your glasses at the 3 o'clock departure."

She did add, "He’s improved over 30 years of marriage, but that was a ‘you must adjust.'”

The couple shares two daughters, Malia Obama, 26, and Sasha Obama, 23. Michelle noted that they are aware of her affinity for punctuality and are “early” whenever they’re “doing anything” with her.

“They’ve learned how to snap to it,” she quipped.
