YouTube sensation GloZell Green is known for many things, including comedy, bold lipstick and eating cereal out of a bathtub.

During GloZellโ€™s interview, the usually outspoken and unabashed comedian got a bit tongue-tied when she came face-to-face with the president and offered Obama a gift.

โ€œMy mama says whenever you go to somebody's house, you have to give them something. Don't come empty-handed,โ€ she said.

And thatโ€™s when she had her slipup.

โ€œOne for your first wife โ€ฆ ,โ€ she said as she handed Obama a lipstick.

โ€œMy first wife!?โ€ Obama laughed. โ€œDo you know something I donโ€™t?โ€

โ€œOoh, for the first lady!โ€ GloZell corrected herself. โ€œAnd the first children.โ€

โ€œI'm sorry,โ€ she repeatedly said.

โ€œOh, I'm teasing,โ€ Obama said playfully.

Well, that was awkward, but cute.
