The story of the 106-year-oldĀ Virginia McLaurin turning a White House Visit into a dance party has taken the Internet by storm.
[fvplayer src=”http://youtube.com/watch?v=ceSCqpG9Z_Q”]Mrs McLaurin said she was very happy to meet the United States’ first black president and his āblackā wife, all while holding Obama and Michelleās hands. Unable to contain her excitement Mrs McLaurin held her arms in the air and danced excitedly when introduced to the American President and First Lady.
A video posted of the 106-year-old’s visit to the White House shows Ms McLaurin tell Mr Obama, āItās an honourā before eagerly making her way over to Mrs Obama, prompting the President to tell her āslow down now, donāt go too quick, sheās 106!ā
The Obamas, then danced away with Ms McLaurin before she told the 54-year-old: āI thought I would never get in the White House.”
It’s so heartwarming to see an elderly woman dance away with the a man who holds the highest office in that land.
What about in Singapore? Has our Prime Minister ever had such a moment with the older folks here?
A Google search of words ‘Lee Hsien Loong + elderly woman‘Ā shows that there were a few times when our PM has had warm moments with older people.
