In a video that has gathered close to two million views as at the time of writing this report, a little girl high-fived a priest in the church as he was trying to bless her.
With the father's hand outstretched, and his palm facing her, she perhaps thought the man was calling for a high-five.

The clergyman burst into laughter as he found the girl's action very funny. Her mother quickly cautioned her, putting the kid's hand down.
Sometimes, a kid's disposition to being playful could be entirely unmatched. Children could find fun in the most unlikely events. Perhaps, that is why a maxim advises that to enjoy life well, one must behave like them.
