Secret Service agents are used to the jumpers – the people who hop over the White House fence.

But Thursday night was different when a toddler slipped through the gate in site of arms officers trained to protect the president, the Associated Press reports.

His discipline?

Secret Service spokesman Edwin Donovan said the boy was given a “timeout” before being returned to his parents.

Donovan joked that the FBI will wait until the boy learns to walk before questioning him.
