This week, Tamron Hall encountered a modern parenting problem when her digital native youngster got a hold of her iPhone. After she’d placed her weekly grocery store order, her 5-year-old son, Moses, snuck on the app to do some shopping of his own.
In an Instagram video, Hall said that upon delivery of her grocery order, she was surprised to discover a surplus of onions. As it turns out, her son snuck on the app and added a whopping 75 yellow onions. The talk show host was beside herself in her initial video, asking viewers, “What am I supposed to do with 75 yellow onions?”
She explained the onion order, which comically filled three grocery bags, came to nearly $90.
“If anyone has gone through this in their life, please let me know,” Hall continued. “I’ve heard of kids ordering apps, games, and things like that.”
“Oniongate,” as the celebrity mom officially dubbed the situation, concluded with the mother-son duo eventually donating the surplus vegetables to a local food pantry.
In a video update, Hall and Moses, whom she shares with her husband, Steven Greener, were on their way to make the donation when she asked him “how many” onions. He excitedly replied, “75!”
“Many of you said donate, and we did,” she added.
