President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama left the White House to take part in a volunteer project in Washington, DC on Thursday.
One young volunteer knew someone important was coming, but might have been a bit disappointed to see the Obamas.
“I really wanted to see Beyonce,” Madison told the president as they stuffed gift backpacks for homeless children.
“I understand,” Obama replied. “Malia and Sasha would feel the same way.”
Madison quickly recovered and tried to backtrack. “But then I realized it was going to be you and that’s even better,” she said.
“I appreciate you saying that in front of the press,” Obama told her. “I know it’s not really true.”
The first lady told Madison she had a valid point.
“I’d rather see Beyonce,” she said.
