First Lady Michelle Obama, appearing at a casual Sunday fundraiser geared to families at the home of Gwen Stefani, appealed for support not just from adults but from the kids in the crowd — with a dose of humor.

“Barack can’t do it alone. He’s not Spider-Man. He’s not a superhero. He’s a human, so we need your help,” she said to the crowd of about 400 people, per a pool report. “I am not just talking to the adults here today. I am talking to all the young people here as well. All of our young people, you might not be old enough to vote.
