I witnessed a kid completely blow his family's Secret Service cover
It happened about 12-13 years ago when my boyfriend and I were staying at a Holiday Inn in Biloxi, Mississippi. One morning, we were downstairs having breakfast, and a table or two over from us was a family that looked like a grandpa, grandma, and a couple of grandkids. At some point, the little boy, who was probably only like 6 years old, suddenly asked his grandparents whether the Secret Service would also be going with them wherever they were headed that day.
The grandma gasped and immediately went, “Shhh!”
And my boyfriend and I busted out laughing. I have no idea who these people were or why they had an escort, but I guess somebody forgot to tell the kid that the first rule of being protected by the Secret Service is you don't talk about the Secret Service. 😂
Edit: I went back through old Facebook photos and posts to narrow down the timing after seeing someone mention the 2012 campaign, which I knew was way too early since I graduated high school at 18 in 2012, and I was actually 20 or 21 (Oct 🎂) when this happened in Biloxi. In any case, this whole thing happened in either October or November of 2014.
