I’m not one for made up days dedicated to things that don’t really matter.
Fact #1: I love high fives.
Fact #2: High Fives Matter & should absolutely have a day.
When I was in my early 20’s my brother & I shared a townhouse.
We High Five Around Here
was plastered on an 8.5×11 piece of printer paper that I sloppily penned & taped up by the front door. It wasn’t expensive decor, but it’s what we stood for [and still do]. It became a motto that a lot of our friends still use today & that’s what a National Day should be about.
National Dress Up Your Pet Day?
No. The only time it’s appropriate to dress your pet, is if you have a fat cat & put it in a sweater. I like that, but it doesn’t need a DAY to celebrate. People who dress their animals do it regularly and anyone who doesn’t won’t run to the store to purchase an outfit for their pet…because the internet claimed it was a holiday of sorts.
National Ask A Stupid Question Day? No. What is the purpose of having a day that recognizes stupid questions? The only thing this “holiday” does is provide proof that there actually are stupid questions.
Not only is today, National High Five Day (YES!) it is also National Wear
What? Today is THE DAY!
I’d be sent home without pay. If you’re going to declare it a day of recognition I should be getting paid if I’m not at work.
But…

High fives definitely matter. A friend of mine really hates it when she sees someone go in for a high five only to be left hanging, so she’s adopted the practice of yelling “HIGH FIVE RESCUE SQUAD” and leaping in to complete the denied high five. She’s a true humanitarian.

Can I be welcomed into the High Five Rescue Squad? I’ll do everything I can to assist here in Wisconsin.
