Toddler puts White House on Lockdown. Seriously.

All seriousness aside, you have to love the dry humour the Secret Service has in this incident; it is almost on par with the British.

Enjoy.

White House Goes On Lockdown After Sneaky Toddler Breaches Fence

The White House went on lockdown Thursday night and it was all for a pint-sized breach.

A toddler apparently got loose from his parents and made a run through the White House fence. If you've ever been to the White House, you know the Secret Service takes any breach very seriously. Plus, there's also guys with powerful guns on the roof.

According to the Washington Post, the agents sprinted to stop the sneaky toddler. And the whole incident came to a conclusion with a priceless statement from the agency charged with protecting the president of the United States:

"We were going to wait until he learned to talk to question him," Secret Service Agent Edwin Donovan said in a statement, "but in lieu of that he got a timeout and was sent on [his] way with [his] parents."

I guess you can call that time served.

BL.

Considering that the Secret Service is not known for it's uproarious sense of humor...it's a pretty funny line.

Sweet story, but which White House fence are they talking about?

He must have been a very skinny toddler if he got through the perimeter fence.

I like that the agent cracked a joke. Shows the human side of them.

That is a wonderful story; I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Think the toddler was a Democrat or Republican?

 

[Mr. McMac]

Think the toddler was a Democrat or Republican?

Neither. They're both clueless

 

[Peace]

They should have waited a few years so they could talk to him..you never know what's in the mind of a toddler !!

Maybe the baby needed a change...he could believe in.

 

[Southern Dad]

He was there to lobby for more snacks. He heard about the Presidential M&M's.

The Presidential Sweets

My DD11 considers her box of Presidential M&M's as one of her prized possessions.

Are you referring to a destroyer?

 

[Southern Dad]

Are you referring to a destroyer?

Nope. My daughter has a pack of Presidential M & M's that have the signature of Barack Obama on them. She got them after the White House tour several years ago. No, she did not get to meet the POTUS. He wasn't there. By the way, it takes a valid government photo ID to get into the White House if you are an adult.

Enough with the bickering, the off topic arguing has been removed.
