H is for Huh

"What do you like to do in your spare time?" a student who was interviewing me for the profile piece asked this afternoon.

I dove right in. "I garden and cook and read and walk my dog," I answered. "I also love hiking and pickleball and going to the movies. I used to bike a lot, but I need a new bike. In the summer I swim at my pool. Oh! And I like to do puzzles, too."

I sat back, confident that I had given him plenty of directions to go in.

He looked confused. "Huh," he said. "I would have thought you would say writing."

I laughed. "That too," I shrugged.
