In a recent episode of TODAY with Hoda & Jenna, hosts Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager couldn't help but laugh as they discussed the unconventional nicknames their children have given them. The conversation arose when the co-hosts were talking about the slang words used by their kids' generation.

Hoda, a mother of two daughters, Haley (6) and Hope (4), revealed that her children occasionally refer to her as "bruh." Both hosts chuckled at the term, with Jenna repeating the word. Hoda then suggested changing the pronunciation to just "bro," which Jenna found equally amusing.

Puzzled by the unexpected nickname, Hoda questioned why her daughters would call her "bro." Jenna shared her confusion, remarking, "Why would they call us, their loving mothers, bro?"

Hoda jokingly mentioned that she pushes back when her kids use the nickname, affirming, "I always say to my kids, 'You do not call your mother bro.'" Jenna burst into laughter at Hoda's response, admitting that she often wonders if she is too relaxed with her own children.

To Hoda's surprise, Jenna revealed that her three children, Mila (10), Poppy (8), and Hal (4), frequently address her as "Jenna Bush" instead of using the more familiar "mom." Jenna even impersonated her kids enthusiastically yelling out her full name. This revelation left Hoda amused and somewhat incredulous as she questioned, "Wait, they call you Jenna Bush in your own house?"

Jenna humorously explained that her kids assert their independence by using her full name, and it has become a playful dynamic in their household. She jokingly admitted to "losing the fight," adding, "No, I've lost it. It's gone."

While the nicknames may seem unconventional to some, they showcase the unique relationships between mothers and their children. The lighthearted conversation between Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager highlighted the humor that can arise within parent-child dynamics.

As parents navigate the ever-changing slang and behaviors of their children's generation, these unexpected nicknames provide comic relief and a reminder that parenting is an evolving journey.
