NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: In a recent ‘Today with Hoda and Jenna’ episode, host Jenna Bush Hager revealed a hilarious accident she had during the Fourth of July week with her family. She confessed that she accidentally got bird poop all over her face.

On the episode on Monday, July 10, Hager and Hoda Kotb shared adorable family photos from their Fourth of July vacation. The duo shared experiences from their vacation and spilled the beans on some hilarious incidents.



 

‘There is bird poop all over’

During the episode, Hager shared a rather embarrassing incident that occurred over the Fourth of July weekend. She said, “I had this experience two days ago where we jumped into the ocean. We swam to the dock. We’re sitting there and laughing hysterically.” Laughing, she continued, “Then I don’t know, I put my hand down. I bring it up to wipe the water [off my face] and there is bird poop all over.” This caused her to curse and her children burst out laughing. She described the incident as a comical and gag-worthy moment. Hager and her husband, Henry, have three children, daughters nine-year-old Mila and seven-year-old, and son, three-year-old Hal.

We did some swimming in the ocean It was really fun," she said.
