Pres­i­dent-elect Joe Biden on Thurs­day revealed that he broke his foot trip­ping on a rug after a show­er as he chased one of his dogs and grabbed its tail.

Biden’s cam­paign pre­vi­ous­ly explained the hair­line frac­ture by say­ing Biden fell while play­ing with the dog, but did not men­tion the show­er or tug­ging the animal’s tail.

The injury requires Biden, who turned 78 last month, to wear a boot for weeks.

“What hap­pened was I got out of the show­er. I got a dog and any­body who’s been around my house knows — dropped, lit­tle pup dropped a ball in front of me. And for me to grab the ball,” Biden told CNN jour­nal­ist Jake Tap­per in his first post-elec­tion joint inter­view with Vice Pres­i­dent-elect Kamala Harris.
