HOW TO DUMBLEDORE CLAP
a poetic adaptation of
a brilliant-but-anonymous 3rd grader’s advice
with both palms
facing the floor
gingerly tap
the back
of one hand
with the other
so that
it is only as loud
as a soft snap!
(You’re welcome!)
You heard it here first folks, a Northside Catholic Academy 3rd grader came up with one of the finest life hacks for audience members who cannot snap when they really like a poem! The kiddo dubbed this the “Dubledore Clap!”
We’re not exactly sure why the young NCA Life Hacker dubbed the J.K Rowling character from the popular Harry Potter books as the mascot of this clap, but we dare not question the wisdom of tiny humans love to read!
