Today was one of those random days off during the school year. For whatever reason, only elementary schools were closed, so I took the day off and went rock climbing with my fifth grade son Ben.

We had a great and exhausting time. I even overcame some of my reluctance to be in high places. Oh, I don’t know, maybe it has something to do with me not wanting to fall a long way down. Any who, we really had a lot of fun.

On our way out of the building, we went by some shirts that were for sale. One had a really striking design with a series of mountains and some hard to read words blended into the drawing.

We stood there for a moment trying to decipher the text. Soon we figured it out, the shirt said, “Let’s get high.” Get it? Rock climbing gym. High. Yep.

So I turned to my fifth grade son and explained, “The shirt is making a joke by using words that have a double meaning. It is also talking about drugs.”

Looking back at me, my boy cut to the chase, “Yeah, but it is still a really cool looking shirt.”

Agreed and duly noted that we should not look to closely into stuff, lest we tarnish outward facing beauty. Oh and another thing, we are not buying that shirt.
