Kids scream during Obama's reading when bees interrupt the event

President Obama was reading "Where the Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak to kids during the White House Easter event this past weekend when he was interrupted by bees.

The bees startled the children who began to scream in the middle of the story. The President tried to calm them down, saying, "That's okay, guys ... they won't sting you ...," but that didn't quite work.

When the shouting continued, Obama chuckled and said, "Hold on, you guys are wild things! You're not supposed to be scared of bees when you're a wild thing."

Though it was no easy feat, the President was eventually able to go on with his story.
