WASHINGTON, Sept. 9 (UPI) -- Whether it's the grocery store or the bank or a dinner party, getting dragged anywhere with your parents when you're a kid is basically the worst.

Having to dress up in a blazer and khakis, all hot and uncomfortable, just to tag along with your father to a work thing where you'll be expected to be polite when you meet your dad's boss and then stand around bored while the adults talk -- one adorable little blond boy wasn't having it, and was definitely not impressed by his father's job or his boss.

White House photographer Lawrence Jackson snapped the picture -- uploaded to the White House's official Flickr photostream with the caption "President Barack Obama visits with a departing United States Secret Service agent and his wife as their son dives into a couch in the Oval Office" -- on June 23, though the photo is just going viral.
