If, like us, you were glued to the TV on Tuesday night while President Obama gave his final speech as President of the United States, then you'd have noticed that one half of the first daughter duo was absent from her father's farewell address. Luckily, Michelle Obama set the record straight on the Tonight Show last night about where Sasha actually was.

It turns out, in typical Obama fashion, Sasha had to miss out on the occasion because she had a science exam to take at school. Or as FLOTUS put it, "She had a final, and you know the Obamas, girl. Sorry. You're going to take your test. You can say goodbye later." So basically, we now have no vaild excuses left for skipping class.

The first lady also opened up to Jimmy Fallon about getting emotional at the farewell address - as you may have noticed, even Malia was a little watery-eyed.

"Oh yeah, she looked over at me," Obama said. "She says, 'I can't believe it. I'm going to cry through the whole speech,' and I was like 'That's okay! That's all right!'"

As for her own goodbye speech, the first lady brought back all our ~feels~ from watching her moving speech at the 2017 School of the Year Award last week as she talked about why she teared up while speaking at the event.

"Kids are my heart," she told Fallon. "When I think about the fact that some of them are afraid about what's to come, I don't want them to be afraid. I want them to embrace the future and know that the world is getting better. We have bumps in the road, we have ups and downs, but I want our kids to move forward."

Watch a clip below and join us as we collectively sob uncontrollably over the fact that she's leaving us:
