High Five!

         
          It occurred to me that there's a generation of kids and young adults who for the rest of their lives are going to be teased for playing video games. 
           What's wrong with Charlie?
           Too many video games. 
           Is that why he can't talk?
           I think so.
           Does he know how to high-five?
           Of course.
           It also occurred to me that there's a generation of kids and young adults who were conditioned by their parents to high five for celebratory occasions. It's interesting to see adults in bars giving each other high fives. Although I like the high five, it's probably one of the dorkiest things you can do in life. And I'm guessing these same adults will teach their kids how to high five and on it will go.
           Growing up we used to say, "give me five," and then slap somebody some skin. I'm not saying it's better than the high five, but maybe just a tinge cooler.
