Watch Hillary Clinton answer a cute FaceTime call from her grandchildren during an event

When the grandkids call, you answer.

Hillary Clinton did something this week that I cannot fathom doing: She answered an unexpected FaceTime call in public.

On Tuesday night, Clinton spoke at a launch event for the political action committee Vote Mama, which fundraises for progressive female candidates with children under the age of 18. Mid-speech, her phone started to ring. But instead of silencing it and turning beet-red, as I would, she picked it up.

"It's my grandchildren on FaceTime," she said.

It ended up being a cute moment -- Clinton's grandchildren, Charlotte and Aiden, ended up saying hi to everyone in the room.

It was so cute, in fact, that I will forgive Clinton for initially putting the phone to her ear instead of looking into the camera.
