Overheard: High Fives

This is not the standard Family Conversations post, but it is worthy of sharing. It is a brief interaction I overheard between someone and his young child.

Parent: Did you go potty?
Child: Yep!
Parent: Alright! High five!
High fives ensue
Parent: Wait, did you wash your hands?

I forget the child’s answer, because I was chuckling at the less-than-ideal order of his actions. Only go for the high fives after you verify the child has clean hands.

Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.

Matthew 15:2
