Huh ...

On Global they have those "huh" spots where you find out some weird and usually interesting fact about one of the actors/actresses on the shows on Global. I'm a fan. And I usually respond with "huh!"

I find I usually have at least one "huh" moment a day. Sometimes more. It sort of depends on how much attention I'm paying to the world that exists beyond my little space.

Take this morning for example. While walking through the playground I overheard two teachers talking about trees. Not an over stimulating conversation on the surface but as I passed I heard the one teacher say "there are male and female trees" ............. huh.

Male and female trees. And, apparently, if the trees have horrible fruit like ginkgo you only want to have one sex on your property so they don't ... you know ... procreate. Huh.

Yeah. Because what I'd want to have to worry about in my day besides the kids, my husband, the bills, my job, the dishes, etc. is whether or not my ginkgo trees are procreating rapidly in the backyard and producing needless amounts of horrible fruit.
