NextImg:'Today's Jenna Bush Hager accuses Michelle Buteau’s five-year-old of “gaslighting” her, suggests she should “gaslight him right back!”

Survival of the Thickest star Michelle Buteau paid a visit to Today With Hoda & Jenna, where the comedian had Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager cracking up as she talked about her five-year-old twins.

After admitting that her kids do not find her funny despite her career, Buteau shared, “Otis just said something so crazy when I was trying to put them to bed. Because I’m like, ‘No more bananas, no more milk, no more stories! You gotta go to bed.'”

She continued, “And he’s like, ‘Mama, do you know everything or do you just think you know everything?'”

Bush Hager, who has shared some of the wild things her own kids have said to her in the past, had some parenting advice to give the comedian.

“I know this because it happens [to me], he’s gaslighting you!” she declared.

Buteau added that she told her son she would “be right back.”

“I never went back in that room. I’m still thinking about it three weeks later,” she confessed, as Bush Hager and Kotb laughed. “What do I do?”

“You gaslight him right back!” Bush Hager said. “You abandoned him. When he has abandonment issues, you just point right back to that one night.”

The Today host knows a thing or two about how sassy kids can be. Last November, Bush Hager revealed that her 10-year-old daughter Mila cracked a “hilarious” joke at her expense during her birthday celebration.

“I told you how Henry goes, ‘Let’s cheers Mom, she’s never looked better,'” she recounted to Kotb. “And Mila goes, ‘Dad, why are you lying? She has looked better.’”

The joke still made Kotb and Bush Hager laugh. “My kids are hilarious and it was fun,” she said.

Today with Jenna and Hoda airs on weekdays at 10/9c on NBC.
