His joke comes a couple of weeks after it emerged that the Prime Minister and his wife left their daughter at a pub in Buckinghamshire when they returned to Chequers.
The couple had left in separate cars both believing the other had Nancy with them - leaving their eight-year-old daughter at the pub.

Whoops: David Cameron, pictured holding his
daughter Nancy at a wedding in 2007, thought Samantha Cameron had all
their children but she thought Nancy was with him

'I don’t know what sport she’s choosing - presumably if I leave her in the pub again the 100m to catch up with the car before it heads off into the distance.'
The Camerons were with their other children Arthur, six, and 22-month-old Florence, and two other families when Nancy wandered off to the toilets as the group was leaving the Plough Inn in Cadsden, Buckinghamshire.
The Prime Minister was driven back to Chequers, which is two miles from the pub, with protection officers in one car, while Mrs Cameron drove their other children in another.
Once her absence was noticed when the Camerons got home they phoned the pub and Nancy was found safe and well.
When Mr Cameron arrived back at the pub he found his daughter happily helping the pub staff. It is understood she had been left by herself for 15 minutes.

Don't leave your children: The tongue in cheek
message to David Cameron left at The Swan pub near Chequers, the Prime
Minister's country retreat in Buckinghamshire
A spokesman for the Prime Minister
said: 'Thankfully when they phoned the pub she was there safe and well.
The Prime Minister went down straight away to get her.’
Plough landlord Steve Hollings, who has run the pub with his wife Sharon for more than 13 years, said the Prime Minister and his family regularly pop in for lunch or drinks.
The Swan Pub, near his country retreat at Chequers, now has a poster which says 'Please ensure you have all your children with you when you leave'.
The Prime Minister made the joke during a speech about the legacy of the London Games to an audience at the university, where the preparation camp for Team GB is housed.
Every Olympic athlete will at some point pass through the university to pick up their kit, and Mr Cameron today met some of the athletes following his speech.
He was shown some of the official 2012 kit that Team GB athletes will wear, as well as some older attire from past Olympic Games.
Mr Cameron met Luol Deng, the 6ft 9in
NBA star of the Chicago Bulls who will head up the men’s Team GB squad,
along with other members of the team.
He talked to Deng about a link they both share in the form of the American president.
Mr Cameron told him: 'I’ve been really looking forward to meeting you because we’ve got a mutual friend in Barack Obama. He’s a big fan of yours.'
He also asked Deng about the squad’s upcoming Olympic matches, and explained how Mr Obama gave him some tips when the pair watched Mississippi Valley State University play Western Kentucky University in Dayton, Ohio.
The world leaders took front row seats for the opening game in the March Madness tournament, which saw Western Kentucky storm to a 59-56 victory in the final few minutes.
Mr Cameron told Deng: 'I had a lesson from Obama.
'Actually it was a terrible game and I was quite enjoying it and he said: ‘This is a terrible game. I’m so sorry I’ve brought you here, you’ve got to see a better game.’
'He gave me a great explanation although I still find it difficult to understand when you’ve done a foul and when you’ve haven’t done a foul.
'It’s hard enough in football but in your sport it’s so complicated.'
