VP Biden Calls Up Family of His Three-Year-Old Fan

A three-year-old girl had been pretending to talk to Joe Biden on her toy phone for a while, and months later, her family received an actual phone call from the vice president himself.

Avery Bral saw the veep on television one day and asked who it was. And then, for the next few months, Bral was having pretend conversations with Biden on her toy phone (though who knows, maybe the NSA was listening on that too). When asked by KCCI why Biden, Bral said, “I just do.”

Her grandmother thought it would be nice to send a note to Biden from the White House website. And then, this week, she received a call from Biden. As she recounts, He said ‘This is Joe Biden’ and I said, ‘Who the… is this?’ And he said, ‘No, really, this is Joe Biden,’ and I said, ‘I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry I said that to you.'”

They ended up talking for a few minutes, and the vice president will be sending Bral a nice little note.
