WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Joe Biden, who celebrated his 81st birthday this week, brought a light-hearted moment to the forefront with his humorous claim that turkeys can “sang birthday to me.”
Biden was referring to turkeys after pardoning a turkey at the White House ahead of Thanksgiving.
During an event, the President quipped, “And by the way, it’s my birthday today and they can actually sing birthdays. I just want you to know it’s difficult turning 60, difficult.”
This remark, delivered with a blend of humor and self-deprecation, prompted laughter and amusement among the audience.
Biden’s jest about singing turkeys adds a playful twist to the traditional Thanksgiving narrative, where turkeys are a central element. His joke also subtly addressed the topic of aging, as he humorously downplayed his actual age of 81 by referring to the “difficulty” of turning 60.
