Baby Receives ‘Happy 101st Birthday’ Card From White House; Is Obviously Very Confused

There are a lot of things babies are confused about — the abilities and limitations of their own bodies; language; the colour blue. But now poor little Benjamin Shosted is also confused about his own age, because the White House has sent him a birthday card wishing him a happy 101st.

The card calls Benjamin, who originally thought he turned one next week, an “integral part of the American narrative” who has “witnessed the best of what our Nation can accomplish when we work together,” and is signed by both President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.

His parents are pretty sure it’s a mix up, which could have come about from their annual requests from the White House to send their kids birthday messages. Persistence pays off, sort of.

The Shosted family told NBC News: “Maybe it’s a prediction. We’re still waiting to collect our social security checks for him.”
