Do you remember the first time you saw the governor
Greta Van Susteren: Remember the first time you saw the governor?
(LAUGHTER)
Ann Romney: I do.
Greta Van Susteren: How old were you?
Ann Romney: Probably about 10.
Greta Van Susteren: Really?
Ann Romney: Yes.
Greta Van Susteren: Where was this?
Ann Romney: I was — I was on a horse and in the country, and he was a Boy Scout...
Governor Mitt Romney: Cub Scout.
Ann Romney: I mean, a Cub Scout. And there were a group of very naughty, like, Cub Scouts that were taunting me...
Greta Van Susteren: Was he one of them?
Ann Romney: Yes.
Governor Mitt Romney: No, no, no. I was saying, "don't do that. That's a nice young lady on that white horse."
Greta Van Susteren: That's not the story she was just telling.
(LAUGHTER)
Greta Van Susteren: They were taunting you?
Ann Romney: They were taunting me, and they started...
Governor Mitt Romney: This is getting better with time.
Ann Romney: But I have got to tell you, I was on a horse and I could go fast, and I just galloped off. And that is the first time I remember him.
Greta Van Susteren: Where was this?
Ann Romney: This was in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.
Greta Van Susteren: And then after you saw — after that experience, when was the next time you saw him?
Ann Romney: In high school. We were at a party. I was then just turning — just about a month before I turned 16, and I was at Cindy White's house, and it was one of these high school parties. And he happened to be there. We saw each other again, and I think there was sort of a mutual attraction right away.
Greta Van Susteren: You liked him right away? Except at that age when you were 10, you liked him, though?
Ann Romney: I had forgiven him.
Greta Van Susteren: You had forgiven him. Did you tell him about it?
Ann Romney: You know, not for a long time. And I think (AUDIO GAP). I don't think either one of us realized. We didn't know, really, who each other was. But it was after we had been dating for a while that he knew I rode horses and I had — I still had horses when he was dating me. And he was like, that horse looks familiar. Oh, was that you?
