Well, well, well... As a young child I used to baffle adults by saying things like: "Apples say Tuesday" and I remember getting quite cross when they didn't believe me.

Gamine - you are not alone in seeing the colours. My daughter and I occasionally see people as certain colours - and we independently agree on what colour they are. My mother, for instance, is dark, cabbagy green. Enough said !

I wonder if this isn't something "weird", but rather a useful, intuitive sensing mechanism which has been lost to "evolved" humans. At the age of around 3 I used to always draw people with Christmas trees sprouting out of their heads, complete with multicoloured tree lights. What I think I must have been seeing was people's auras. Again, I was surprised when an adult asked me why the trees were there, because to me they were very real and I thought everybody saw them. Sadly, as soon as I was ridiculed about it, the trees and the lights disappeared from my drawings ... and then from my awareness.

You can take me away in the van, now... I'll go quietly...
