Washington: A teenage rite of passage has come through the White House, with President Barack Obama disclosing daughter Malia recently attended her first prom, the formal end-of-year dance of US high school students.
Obama wouldn't say whether his older daughter had a date or went with friends. He joked it's "classified information" during an interview aired on Friday on the talk show "Live! With Kelly and Michael."
But the president says he doesn't think he had been too intimidating for any boy who might roll up to the Whit House to pick Malia up.
Obama says it was "a little bit jarring" to see his 15-year-old in high heel shoes for the first time. He says Malia looked beautiful.
The president says he and the first lady were worried that growing up in the White House would give their daughters "an attitude." But he expresses pride that they have remained respectful, kind and considerate young women and gives credit to his wife.
