Jenna Bush Hager gave out sage yet hilarious advice in response to an R-rated social dilemma.
Bush Hager and her co-host, Sheinelle Jones, did a segment on the Friday, July 24, episode of TODAY With Jenna & Sheinelle in which they gave advice on social issues submitted by viewers.
One viewer asked for the anchor duo's input after noticing a couple sneak away on a family vacation.
Jenna Bush Hager and Sheinelle Jones had a hilarious response to a social dilemma.
Jenna Bush Hager commended the couple who found a way to have alone time.
"My husband's family rented a lake house and my sister-in-law and her husband snuck upstairs to their room for some 'private time' while the rest of us, including the kids, were all there," the plea for advice began.
"I thought it was tacky and disrespectful," the anonymous person continued. "My husband says they're married and it's no big deal. Who's right?"
Unfortunately for the person who submitted the plea for advice, Bush Hager and Jones were quick to take the couple's side, even commending them for making time to be alone together.
"Good for them," Bush Hager said, while shaking her head, looking impressed. "You know what, good for them. If they can find the time to make it happen."
'Good for Them'
Jenna Bush Hager hilariously commented, 'good for them.'
Her zero-hesitation response to the dilemma evoked laughter from the rest of the studio.
"I agree," Jones added. "I mean, the kids don't know."
Bush Hager even called out the sender, asking why they'd assumed the couple had snuck away for adult activities.
"How do you know that's what they were doing?" she asked. "... You could tell by the sparkle in their eyes?"
