Pleased to meet you

Dearest Son,


Today, a very important topic - one that speaks to your first impression, etiquette, branding and quite frankly just how well you fit in - a good, firm handshake.  I recall being "taught" for the first time in high school how to shake someone's hand.  I thought the whole concept of teaching this was ridiculous right up to the moment the teacher sent us loose in the classroom to practice ... good night there were a lot of people who had no idea how to shake hands, at least not well!  I took it for granted that I had been raised properly shaking hands, and your daddy and I will certainly teach you as well because there's nothing I dislike more in first meeting someone than a wimpy, meek handshake.  Though I must say with the grip you've got going at this age, you're already headed down the right path!


Love,
Your Mommy
