Serena Williams on daughter Olympia asking about the name of the president when American was born: "I ended up just saying Barack Obama"
Serena Williams recently shared a humorous anecdote about a mistake she made when her daughter Olympia asked her who the American president was when she was born.
Williams took to her Instagram stories during one of her morning walks and recounted Olympia's question during her birth. The former World No. 1 admitted that she momentarily blanked out, considering historical figures like Abraham Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt, or Theodore Roosevelt being in office during her birth, before realizing her mistake.
Williams then jokingly told Olympia that Barack Obama was the president when she was born. To which the six-year-old enthusiastically agreed, stating that it was the same for her.
“Okay, I’m out for my morning walk. So this morning, Olympia asked me what president was in office when I was born. And I’m thinking [Abraham] Lincoln, [Theodore/Franklin D.] Roosevelt. I ended up just saying Barack Obama (laughs), and she said,'me too!‘ (laughs),” Serena Williams said.
