A young boy became an internet star Tuesday for his response to being accidentally smacked in the face by Vice President Pence.

Pence was speaking to military families at the White House as part of National Military Spouse Appreciation Day when he accidentally elbowed the small boy in the face while making a hand gesture.

The boy, who immediately cracked a grin, began asking Pence for an apology as the vice president turned to shake hands with other guests who were surrounding him at the podium.

"Excuse me, excuse me," the boy can be heard saying on camera. "You owe me an apology."

He finally catches up with Pence, who apologized.



"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bop you," Pence said.
