WASHINGTON — Getting all dressed up to meet the president of the United States can be exhausting. One boy's Oval Office face plant is now world-famous, thanks to a White House photographer and the Internet.

A boy apparently not impressed with the Oval Office took a nose dive onto one of President Obama's couches in June. And fortunately for us, White House photographer Lawrence Jackson was there to capture the moment.

His parents, happily chatting with the president in the background, were oblivious to their son's feet up in the air. At least he had on a suit and tie.

The boy and his family have not been identified, but according to ABC News, Obama was meeting with a departing Secret Service agent.

This isn't the first time an Oval Office visit has spurred a funny photo. In March 2012, little Corbin Fleming tried to make a phone call from the phone that has the little red button used to page Secret Service for emergencies. In December 2012, Obama got “caught” in Spider-man's web just outside his office.
