Joe Biden reminded by child that his last overseas visit was to Ireland

It was take-your-child-to-work day at the White House on Thursday and President Joe Biden leaped fully into the event, taking questions from inquisitive kids at a mock news conference where some revelations were made: chocolate chip ice cream is his favourite and Top Gun Maverick his preferred movie.

Biden, 80, sporting his signature aviator sunglasses (Ray Bans, he said), was escorted on to the South Lawn by several pint-sized "Secret Service agents," also sporting aviators.

Awaiting him were dozens of children who joined their parents for what has been an annual event at the White House.

Over the next half hour he proceeded to take more questions from the children than he has from the regular White House press corps in weeks, telling them the names of his several grandchildren and where they live.

The kids stumped him when they asked which country was the last one he visited. (It was Ireland).
