Jenna Bush Hager talked about a time when her grandmother, Barbara Bush, wrote her a strong letter because she was misbehaving. Jenna shared that her father, President George W. Bush, supported her grandmother’s decision to write a letter and advised her to do something about it.
In the recent episode of “Today with Hoda and Jenna,” the TV presenter, aged 41, talked about Jenna Bush Hager’s naughty actions. She told a story about how she caused problems with her grandma after they played tennis together.
This happened only a week after Bush Hager mentioned that her dad made a “simple” promise to her and her twin sister Barbara that they could have a regular life while he was in the White House.
Jenna Bush Hager’s letter from her grandma
Jenna Bush Hager remembers the time when her grandmother wrote to her a really funny letter. Jenna was playing tennis, and she was upset with how she acted. Her dad, President George Bush, found it very funny, so he told her to relax.
Jenna opened up on this hilarious incident in the talk show “Today With Hoda and Jenna.” Bush Hager continued to say that she got into a problem and got a mean letter from her grandmother, who passed away in 2018 at 92 years old. Her father advised her to throw the letter in the trash.
She was reminded of the mean event when her dad sent her a message asking if she still had the letter. “He said, I wish you had it so we could turn it into an interpretive reading,” Jenna told her co-host Hoda Kotb, who is 59 years old.

Jenn Hager remembers this incident and exclaims that some things that hurt us now make us laugh later. This is not the first time Bush Hager has openly talked about her late grandmother’s tricky actions.
In January, she shared that her grandma once said that she looked a bit “chubby” in a bikini when she was a teenager. However, her grandmother later said sorry for saying that hurtful thing many years later.
Bush Hager confessed that her words made her feel less good about herself. She remembered a time as a teenager when she wore a yellow bikini. She was lying beside her sister Barbara Bush and her grandma, who she liked but could sometimes say hurtful things. Her grandmother said something like, “Oh, Jenna! Looks chubby”.
Bush Hager found out much later that her grandma had put her worries onto her.
The former First Lady got remarks from her mother, Pauline Pierce. Her grandma said she was often compared to her older sister, Martha Pierce, as mentioned by her granddaughter.

Just last week, Bush Hager thought back to the negative comments she got while being the first daughter. She talked about how this made her stronger in an interview with People magazine. She mentioned that she does not worry about what people say about her anymore.
When their dad, who was in the Republican party, ran against Al Gore in the 2000 presidential elections, she and her twin sister were in their final year at Austin High School in Texas.
Jenna remembers that when they were eighteen, her father, President Bush, understood that they really wanted to go to college and have a regular life. He assured them that they could have a regular life, but then, in the end, things did not happen as he told them.
When President Bush became the President in 2001, she had just started her first year at the University of Texas in Austin. Her sister was studying at Yale University, where their father had also studied.
Bush Hager was so busy with her college life that she missed a call from actress Katie Holmes. Holmes wanted her assistance in getting ready for her part in the 2004 movie First Daughter.
