First Lady Laura Bush recalls one overnight visit with her husband in the home of his parents, the former President and Mrs. Bush.
"George woke up at 6 A.M. as usual and went downstairs to get a cup of coffee," Laura says. "And he sat down on the sofa with his parents and put his feet up. And all of a sudden, Barbara Bush yelled, 'Put your feet down!'
"George's dad replied, 'For goodness' sake, Barbara, he's the President of the United States.'
"And Barbara said, 'I don't care. I don't want his feet on my table.'"
The president promptly did as he was told, for as Mrs. Bush observes, "Even Presidents have to listen to their mothers."
