The most wonderful thing has happened. Meredith has found a new friend who shares the same style of thinking as she does! Her new friend also experiences a lot of synesthesia just like Meredith. They are so happy together and are a wonderful support system for another. How wonderful it must be for them.
It does make for some funny happenings, though. For example, the two girls and I decided to start a small little business making crafts out of paint sample strips. (I had thought the two girls would love this idea since they are crazy about color, probably due to their synesthesia.) We went to Home Depot to collect some materials and spent a good amount of time looking at all the colors.
It occurred to me while were were collecting our samples to ask Meredith whether she was hearing a lot of music because of all the color on the wall. (I asked her about whether she heard music because one time she made a collage of paint chips and hung it up in her room. She told me that she looked at it to hear the music when she wanted to relax.) So, yes, Meredith said that she was indeed hearing lots of music. We continued gathering our paint chips and then we came across the paint chip samples that were textured. I saw Meredith's friend rubbing her fingers over a sample of textured beige paint and I asked her as well, "Are you hearing anything, seeing any color or anything with that texture?" She responded, "It's purple."
