Narrative:
On takeoff roll; I set the throttles and asked for max power setting. When I normally do this I usually put my (throttles) hand up on the glare shield to let the first officer (first officer) have access to the throttles; and when the first officer announces 'max/standard power set' I put my hands back on the throttles. On this takeoff I left my hand up on the glare shield (why; I couldn't tell you). At approximately 100 knots the first officer asked 'do you want your hands there for the reject?' and all I heard was 'reject' and performed the reject at approximately 110 knots. As we exited the runway and talked about it we realized what had happened. I did not think it was prudent to start questioning a call like that when we were getting into a possible high speed reject. Contacted maintenance; performed appropriate QRH procedures and maintenance write-up/checks; and continued on with a normal takeoff.
