Watch this kid host cut off President Obama

  Published at  | Updated at

(WASHINGTON) — A sixth-grader hosting a “virtual field trip” with President Obama on Thursday got a little bored during the commander-in-chief’s answer to a question about writer’s block.

“I think you’ve kind of covered that question,” said Osman Yaya, interrupting the president halfway through his musings on the blank page.

“Osman thinks I’ve been talking too long,” Obama deadpanned. “Let’s move it along — I got you.”

The precocious young host also reassured President Obama his literary preferences weren’t totally outdated.

“I was into adventure stories.  There was something called The Hardy Boys back in the day — I know you guys don’t read that anymore,” Obama said. “And books like Treasure Island, which was about pirates, I really enjoyed that.”

“To make you feel younger, my best friend read Treasure Island,” Osman chimed in.
