High Five VS Low five

   It was a wonderful feeling with Zayd (grandson) asking me
Give me high five
 So I do and he passes his hand to one side. Has fun with "ignorant" grand father
  During our younger days I remember as many of you old enough to remember when one wants support/appreciation one would extend hand with palm facing up and your friend will bring his palm facing down from above to this lower palm with force making a clapping sound
 It was considered fun and a feeling of reassurance about your position/statement, whatever.
 I remember seeing The Obamas bringing their fists together on TV and so do our children and grandchildren The "high five' is unique for it has a name and expression etc.
 May be there is more to understand from high five than I get here.
