Babs Bush is one dynamite lady. I'm sure she'd laugh loudest at a joke at her expense.

President's mum jokes over paper's 'breast sizes' mistake
Barbara Bush has written a jokey letter to a local newspaper after it misquoted her saying she had three breast sizes during her life.

The former First Lady actually said she had "three dress sizes".

A reporter from The Wichita Eagle in Kansas misheard her when she gave a talk as she opened a community college in El Dorado.

The newspaper ran a correction the following day, but later received a note from Mrs Bush which it used on its letters page.

In it, she says the error gave her children, including current president George W Bush, something to laugh about.

Her letter read: "I've just become abreast of your recent article 'Barbara Bush wows El Dorado'. I am indeed a bosom buddy to two presidents, so I shared some of the things I have learned in 76 years of life. That includes 57 years of married life, six children, 14 grandchildren, five wars, three DRESS sizes, two governors, two parachute jumps and now two presidents.

"Your article has left this generally outspoken mother speechless, but has given my children much to laugh about."

At the end of the typed letter, Mrs Bush added a handwritten note:

"I just wanted to get this off my chest!"
