Jenna Bush Hager recently shared a humorous parenting anecdote about her 4-year-old son, Hal, on the Today show. She revealed that Hal has a crafty way of avoiding her kisses by pretending to sneeze whenever she tries to show affection. Despite his antics, Bush Hager remains determined to shower him with love, resorting to sneak attacks to plant kisses on him.
During the show, cohost Hoda Kotb suggested playing hard to get with Hal to encourage him to seek out affection. Bush Hager reflected on her own dating tactics from her younger years, jokingly admitting to keeping men guessing and playing hard to get. She also shared a previous instance where Hal humorously redirected her affection towards his father by claiming a book was meant for daddy to read.
This isn't the first time Hal has teased his mother. In a previous episode, Bush Hager mentioned how he enjoys gaslighting her by making playful remarks that leave her amused and slightly exasperated. She humorously retaliated by using the phrase 'we'll see' as her way of subtly saying 'no' to his requests.
Despite Hal's mischievous behavior, it's clear that Bush Hager adores her son and enjoys the playful banter they share. The lighthearted exchanges between mother and son offer a glimpse into their loving and humorous relationship, showcasing the joys and challenges of parenting a spirited young child.
