I never quite understood the meaning of heads up. When I hear it my instincts aren't to duck but to look back to see what's going on. I explained my logic to my best friend today and then asked her what she does when she hears "heads up." She was doing her work and was obviously irritated with me asking her weird questions so she yells "I don't know" and turns around in her desk. So to get some answers I say "heads up" and throw my purple pen at her. In that moment she hesitated and then turned around so my pen hit her on the forehead. I was laughing so hard I cried. Then she shook her head and started laughing with me. After that she turned around again. Wondering what she'd do this time I said "heads up" again but didn't throw my pen. She hesitated for a split second before ducking down. We started laughing again and that was the end to a very boring day.
