President Obama turned the tables Monday, cracking jokes about things people usually make fun of him about.

During a Monday speech about peace between Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland, Obama told residents in Belfast about how his great-great-great grandfather was born in Ireland, as well as his 2011 meeting in Moneygall with his eighth cousin, Henry.

“We knew he was my cousin because his ears flapped out just like mine,” Obama said to laughter.
