The nudge was immediately picked up by social media with many commenting on how embarrassing it was for the President.
The annual "Easter Egg Roll" revolves around children, who set about finding hidden coloured eggs in the garden bushes around the presidential residence and later roll them toward a finish line aided only by wooden spoons. "One of her aids told her we were from South Jersey", Mercado said.
A total of some 18,000 Easter eggs were made available to the kids, however, by the White House.
The first family joined their guests on the South Lawn, as President Donald Trump, along with First Lady Melania, colored with kids as part of some of the day's activities. While Trump's misstep was met with routine trolling, Melania's reaction was largely praised as a "real" moment between a married couple.
The egg rolling event, which dates back to 1878, was smaller than previous years - down from the 35,000 people who got tickets last year - but retained such activities as a reading nook where messages can be sent to United States troops.

Britain had turned down the initial request for his deportation previous year , saying he entered the country on a valid passport. Dave was also of a similar view as he said that courts there are independent and "do not grant extradition so easily".
"We're doing the egg roll hanging out and having a good time", said participant Cullen Gullott. The president is lucky to have a first lady with such "impeccable" manners, as Vogue contributing editor André Leon Talley put it.
On the other hand, Trump also expressed his heartfelt thanks to his wife, Melania, in being the instrument for the planning and preparing towards the success of this year's Easter Egg Roll.
She wanted to focus on "military bands, and.the family itself", Ms Grisham said. About 35,000 people attended a year ago, when then-first lady Michelle Obama organized a carnival-like affair with pop singers, celebrity chefs and professional sports stars.
Melissa McCarthy returned to "Saturday Night Live" as Spicer on Saturday, this time dressed as the Easter bunny, mocking his recent flubs (and that time Spicer dressed up as the furry white animal).
