Rep. Ralph Hall (R-Texas) played a game of “don’t I know you from somewhere?” with Kathleen Sebelius when the Health and Human Services secretary testified Wednesday before the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
The 90-year-old lawmaker, the oldest serving member of Congress, took a break from grilling Sebelius to ask the former Kansas governor, “Were you born in Meade, Kansas?”

“I was in the third grade there, and I thought I saw you on a tricycle there one day,” Hall explained to a hearty laugh from Sebelius.
“Well, it was an illusion,” Sebelius, 65, responded.
