George W. Bush thought of a joke he couldn’t help but share with Barack Obama as the pair of former presidents stood on stage behind Bill Clinton during his speech at a hurricane relief concert in Texas. 

As Clinton spoke of the need to rebuild Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, Bush leaned over with a sly grin and said something to Obama, who immediately let out a chuckle. Then the former leaders of the free world tried to keep a straight face, like two middle schoolers giggling during a lecture.

Clinton, Obama and Bush joined the two other living ex-presidents, Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush, for “Deep from the Heart: The One America Appeal for Hurrican Relief“ at Texas AM University in College Station.

The moment went viral on social media. With all the bitter political discourse out there, there is something comforting in seeing two leaders who disagree about so much having so much fun together. 

Twitter’s Classic Dad Moves immediately identified the textbook dad joke maneuver:
