Anyone who has kept a close eye on Malia Obama knows she has stellar wit, especially when it comes to reacting to the ridiculous attention she receives from the public – like that time she wore a DIY ‘smoking kills’ t-shirt.

This past weekend, as Malia began her new life at Harvard University, she laid down the rules.

After dropping her off on Saturday, Barack and Michelle, who both went to Harvard Law School, exited Malia’s dorm with their sunglasses on, discouraging any public interaction.

Malia was left to her own devices, reports TMZ:

Eyewitnesses tell TMZ, Malia was in Harvard Square with a friend. As she approached a salad shop, a woman ran up to her and said she wanted a photo for her grandchild. We’re told Malia politely declined.

The grandma was undeterred and staked out the salad joint, waiting for Malia to leave. When she did, we’re told the grandma trained her camera on the former First Daughter and Malia fired back, “Are you gonna take it in my face like an animal in a cage?”

An eyewitness said the grandma ended up getting the photo.

No skaam, hey? The whole incident was caught on video:

I mean, all she wants is a decent education and now she has to deal with pesky grandmas as well? I guess it could be worse.
