Since being shared online, the video garnered widespread attention from netizens. While many were amused, others wondered why the father was not wearing a mask.

You’re right. I was so taken with that “high 5” I didn’t notice.

Yup. I’m pretty sure I’m barred from heaven for the times I cracked up during mass as an altar boy.

My son did this on his first day of school this year when the principal showed him how to hold his hands to be sanitized 🤷‍♂️
