Holy High Five

Picking up my boys from school, Fifth Grader Sam was in an argumentative mode.

Topic for the day: emojis.

His stance: the following emoji is a High Five and not Praying.

I begged to differ.

Round and round we went, until Sam’s younger brother Ben asked Sam, “Where did you learn this?”

Sam answered confidently, “James (his friend at school).”

Ben in full Myth Buster mode, “Is James a ‘Trusted Web Site?'”

Well, there you have it.  Hope for the future, as witnessed by a healthy dash of scepticism.

Epilogue – Turns out that the emoji is acceptable for use as either a High Five or Praying.  Also, Sam’s friend James is still not a “Trusted Web Site.”
