President Obama Had To Fend Off Bees To Finish Reading A Book To A Group Of Kids

The White House Easter Egg Roll usually gives children a once-in-a-lifetime experience at the White House, while photographers snap a few casual pictures of the leader of the free world in pastel shirts. But today, the story time portion of the event was interrupted by the sound of buzzing bees and screaming children, who are easily rattled by the prospect of an innocent bee swarm.

Who isn’t rattled easily? Barack Obama, who, according to the above video from Mashable, either tried to calm the children with his dulcet voice and his continuing effort to read Where the Wild Things Are or selfishly read propaganda and laugh uncontrollably at their screams.

Right now, there are no answers to questions about where the bees came from, being that they naturally occur in nature and in gardens, but we’ll keep you in the loop should there be some kind of Wu-Tang connection. Something that would hardly make sense because, like the Wu-Tang Clan, President Obama is for the children, and if you’re for the children, you want story time to go off without a hitch.
