 Some people wait a lifetime! A 106-year-old woman named Virginia McLaurin danced with joy while meeting President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle this weekend in the White House. 
 
 A sweet video from the encounter shows McLaurin vivaciously walking into the room to meet with the couple. She then squeals and laughs with delight. "It's an honor, it's an honor," she tells President Obama, who then brings over his grinning wife. 
 
 
 
 "She's 106!” the president proclaims of his adorable guest. 
 
 
 
 "No, you are not!" yells Michelle, who gives McLaurin a hug and holds her hand affectionately. "Oh, my goodness! I want to be like you when I grow up." 
 
 The Obamas then dance with her in the middle of the Blue Room, and the three roar with laughter. "I thought I would never live to get in the White House," says McLaurin, who was there for Black History Month. "And I tell you. I am so happy: A black president."

 Over the past five years, Americans have produced and signed nearly 5,000 petitions through the White House’s “We the People” site. How could we ever forget the effort to get the Obama administration on board with building a Death Star? Some, like that one and a petition to deport Justin Bieber, resulted only in conversation. But others made an impact. 
 
 The Pew Research Center analyzed the petitions in a recent report. They ranged from serious, like an effort to ban gay conversion therapy at a state level that led the president in 2015 to support states' bans, to playful. A request for Obama to appear on a previously unvisited talk show, for example, prompted him to appear on “Real Time with Bill Maher” in January 2016. 
 
 In 2015, 106-year-old Virginia McLaurin requested a meeting with the first black president, something she never thought she’d live to see. Her petition garnered only 19 signatures. But it nonetheless resulted in one of first couple's most memorable meetings, this dance party: 
 
 What's the secret to still dancing at 106? Watch 106-year-old Virginia McLaurin fulfill her dream of visiting the White House and meeting President Obama. #BlackHistoryMonth Posted by The Obama White House on Sunday, February 21, 2016 ||||| Michelle Obama’s goodbye fete Wednesday on “The Tonight Show” was way more upbeat than President Obama’s emotional farewell address to the nation. She was Jimmy Fallon’s sole guest and the late night host dedicated his entire show to her. 
 
 When she walked out onto the “Tonight Show” set, Fallon — who began hosting the show soon after the Obamas took office — said he felt emotional while watching the president’s final speech. “I lost it at home,” he said. “Malia was crying. Sasha she wasn’t there.” 
 
 Michelle Obama explained that her youngest daughter stayed home. “You know the Obamas, �?Girl sorry. You better take your test. ... You can say goodbye later,’” she said, laughing. 
 
 The first lady said the end of her husband’s administration has “been surprisingly emotional for all of us in ways that we didn’t expect.” She cried at her final event in the White House last week and Fallon asked her why. 
 
 “Talking about kids. Kids are my heart,” she said. “When I think about the fact that some of them are afraid of the future, of what is to come. I don’t want them to be afraid. I want them to embrace the future and know that the world is getting better. We have bumps in the road. We have ups and downs but I want our kids to move forward — I don’t care where they come from — with strength and with hope.”

 She also pledged to continue working on her initiatives to encourage young people to pursue higher education and eat healthy. “I’m not done. I’m too young. I’m too young to stop,” she said. “We’ve made plans for the continuation of all that we’re doing. I will continue to stay involved with these issues as long as I live. The fact that we have made huge strides especially in the school lunch program, which I hope does not get touched because it makes sense.” 
 
 The closest Fallon got to asking the first lady about politics was a question about her meeting with her successor. Michelle Obama said she had given Melania Trump advice on how to create a safe space for her family while living in the White House. She added that she’d be there in the future to help Melania or Ivanka — if they want her assistance. 
 
 Fallon also showed a pre-taped video of passerbys that he invited to record thank you messages for the first lady. After each one, the first lady popped from behind the curtain and surprised the overwhelmed fans with big hugs. 
 
 Fallon has created some viral video moments with both Obamas through the years. The president slow jammed the news with Fallon twice. Michelle Obama has performed skits with him, including “The Evolution of Mom Dancing” where the two had a dance off. Fallon dressed in drag. Michelle Obama did the dougie. 
 
 The first lady and Fallon did not reprise their skits Wednesday, though she was animated during a game of “Catchphrase” in which she and Fallon teamed up against Dave Chappelle and Jerry Seinfeld, who wore a tux for the occasion. Obama, who is competitive and grew up playing games, did the robot dance to convey a clue and the happy dance when she and Fallon won. 
 
 In another segment, she and Fallon wrote thank you notes. The comedian penned one to Michelle Obama. “Thank you, Mrs. Obama, for being a strong, smart, independent woman — an activist, a style icon and a great dancer, and showing us all what it would look like if Beyoncé married a much nerdier Jay Z,” he said. 
 
 She wrote one to her husband: “Thank you, Barack, for proving you’re not a lame duck but my very own silver fox.”

 The show closed with a performance by Stevie Wonder, who is the first lady’s favorite singer. He remixed one of his most famous songs for her. “My Michelle amour, lovely as a summer day. My Michelle amour, you’re the only one that we adore. … You’ll always be first lady in our lives.”
– Even 106-year-olds dance for joy. Need proof? You've got it thanks to a White House video shared on Twitter on Sunday. It shows centenarian Virginia McLaurin busting a move while meeting President and Michelle Obama at the White House for Black History Month, reports Us Weekly. "It's an honor, it's an honor," she told the president, before rushing across the Blue Room to meet Michelle Obama, forcing the president to tell her to "slow down." "I want to be like you when I grow up," the first lady joked to McLaurin, before joining her for an impromtu dance party. The first lady held McLaurin's hand while the president held her cane.
