Child Masters Finger Whistle

Masthead: hey do you have a second

News Desk: Yes, what’s up?

Masthead: the top hed today about the whistling. does she actually know how to whistle

News Desk: No, not actually. We handle that in the dek, where it says that she “yells fwoot fwoot”.

Masthead: yes but in the hed it says she mastered it

News Desk: Right, we are being a little cheeky there.

Masthead: i dont think we should be in the business of being cheeky

News Desk: That’s literally the whole vibe of this paper.

Masthead: im just concerned that kinas grandparents will think that she actually knows how to whistle and will talk about it on instagram

News Desk: Nobody in their right mind would think a four year old knows how to whistle with her fingers. I don’t know how to whistle with my fingers.

Masthead: nor i

News Desk: So why would you be concerned that her grandparents would think that she could actually hail a taxi with her finger whistle?

Masthead: theres some precedent here

News Desk: Well the edition’s gone to press. What do you want me to do here?

Masthead: i dunno, issue a correction or something

News Desk: What if I just paste this chat into the newsletter?

Masthead: fine thanks for taking care of this

News Desk: fwoot fwoot

Masthead: fwot
