On Tuesday, Tamron Hall explores the concept of delayed gratification with “I’m Glad I Waited,” an episode dedicated to those who zigged when everyone else zagged, and apparently lived to tell the tale.
First, we’ll meet the parents of triplets who, for 18 long years, kept their kids in the dark about their birth order. One can only imagine the therapy bills once that particular Pandora’s Box was opened. This begs the question: what’s the statute of limitations on revealing such a fundamental truth? And is this a fascinating social experiment or just a recipe for sibling rivalry on an epic scale?
Then, there’s a woman who found motherhood in her late 40s after finally meeting “the one.” Her story might be an inspiring testament to patience, but it also raises the larger question of societal expectations and the often-unrealistic timelines we impose on ourselves.
Finally, a couple who waited until their wedding day to share their first kiss will be sharing their story. While admirable in its restraint, one has to wonder about the practical implications. Did they practice? Was there a safe word? And how much champagne was consumed before the big moment?
Hall will also be tackling the often-fraught topics of societal pressures surrounding marriage, parenthood, and other major life events. It’s a safe bet that the studio audience will have plenty of opinions on this one.
