How often do you high-five someone for the great thing they did?
How often does someone else high-five you for the great thing you did?
It’s a great way to acknowledge success, excitement and even a really good joke.
More often than not, it’s mandatory to accept a high-five request from a friend.
Here is a story that is somewhat unusual
Yesterday I was riding in the car with my wife. We were joking, laughing and having a good time.
I cracked a joke about something my wife said and the laughter from both of us increased.
My wife used her wit to spin the words I said and turned the joke around on me.
What she said was far funnier than what I said, despite the fact that the joke was not on me.
My wife raised her hand and barked out, “High Five!”
Foolish me, in a knee-jerk response, I accepted her high-five of her witty joke against me.
This made the joke that much more funnier.
Never again, never again will I high-five my wife when she cracks a joke about me.
