On Wednesday's Watch What Happens Live, Jenna Bush Hager admitted she might've taken part in some "hanky-panky" at the White House back when her dad was in office.

That comment certainly got people talking! On Friday, the now-married mother of one called in to Today, making it clear that any fooling around she did at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue was "pretty innocent!"

"OK, people don't know...First of all, I was shocked by the question. It was totally humiliating," she said. "But my husband [Henry Hager] and I did have our first kiss on the White House roof...It's not as Fifty Shades Shades of Grey as people want it to be."

Jenna's fellow Today correspondents were curious if the secret service looked the other way during that rooftop smooch. Her response?  "Maybe there was no privacy—there probably was no privacy," she said. "But in our minds, we were the only people there."

Looking back, Jenna, 33, said the kiss was "really lovely."

"Now, 10 years later, here we are with a child," she said, referring to the couple's 19-month-old daughter Mila. "So, it's a pretty special thing!"

The former first daughter also laughed at herself for her old-fashioned word choice, saying, "I think I single-handedly brought back the word hanky-panky!"

Props to that! And just to set the record straight, Jenna reiterated just how innocent her White House kiss was. "There was not canoodling," she insisted. "No, there was not heavy petting, no. There was nothing.....You all know me!"
