It is not the first time that children have stolen the show during political shows and events.

A hilarious video made rounds that showed a boy cut a highway tunnel inauguration ribbon before Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

“A boy cut a ribbon during the opening ceremony for a highway tunnel in Turkey,” Reuters captioned its Twitter video. “That wasn’t such a big deal in itself, but that job had been reserved for Turkey’s President Tayyip Erdogan.”

The 42-second clip saw children standing in front of the Turkish president who had scissors in his hands and speaking in the ceremony. The boy cut the ribbon just before Erdogan could.

After realizing that he made a mistake, he tried to make it right by holding the ribbon in its original position. The Turkish president went on with the plan and cut the ribbon afterwards.

Erdogan found humour in the situation as he tapped the boy’s head while the minor had a smile on his face. He also gave high fives to the children that were standing on stage.
