![]() ![]() When I saw the box of Tide, with it's neon yellow-into orange explosive colors I noticed how much the colors were like the "color of Wednesday." I excitedly related this to my mom, thinking she'd agree and how clever I was to make this connection, when I noticed she looked puzzled and didn't say much. I was learning my days of the week and had been reading since I was three. My first memory of synesthesia was when I was four years of age (BTW-4,is a medium matte brown), I was in the garage, helping my mother with the laundry, when I noticed the box of detergent she was measuring into the washing machine, which was Tide laundry detergent. It is funny that the title of Cytowic's book contains "Wednesday" because it was the word Wednesday with which I made the revelation that what I experienced was not the norm. Perhaps like many syns, as a child and teen, I had always assumed that everyone could taste shapes, personify numbers and associate their alpha and numeric system with color and personality. ![]()
