Yes, it was fascinating — once I figured it out, which I finally did when she was in fifth or sixth grade. Until then, some of the things she said were just bizarre to me, especially when she was younger and so insistent about it. Once I figured it out, and once she realized other people didn't "see" what she saw, it was less frustrating for her. Until then, she thought I was just dense.
The only part about it now that is REALLY weird is her perceiving music as seasons. One just cannot ride in a car with her without her punching the radio buttons every two seconds. "I can't listen to that song now in March, it's an August song." or "How can you listen to that, it's a fall song?" Mostly she burns CDs to take on trips so all the songs are the right season. Keeps the peace.
I joke all the time that she's going to have to find a very understanding husband because of what we call "the music thing."
Yeah! My wife does the same thing, only with her, it's clothes. I cannot figure it out. "You can't wear that on Easter, that's a fall suit."
Or, she's looking for something to wear, and I make a suggestion, "I can't wear that in July, it's a winter dress". It was a black sleeveless dress. Unbelieveable!
