Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager were visibly overcome with emotion during a recent episode of Today with Hoda and Jenna, which saw them go back in time and revisit their childhoods.
Journalist and Your Mama’s Kitchen podcast host Michele Norris joined the ladies on the Friday, November 10th show, and naturally invited them to close their eyes and think about some of their fondest memories in their childhood kitchens.
Jenna, 41, went first, and reflected on life with her father, former President George W. Bush – in particular her memories of them doing her math homework on the kitchen table back in Dallas, Texas.
“There were tears because I was not a great math student. But he was patient,” the Read with Jenna book club founder began. “[He] sat there with me and stayed with me even though I would yell at him and sort of take out my frustration.”
Michele had an interesting response to that memory, and said: “That’s not just about math, that was saying ‘I will always be here for you and you can always count on me.'” Jenna then asked, “Are you a therapist?” as she started tearing up.
