OK....this ranks as one of the most odd--and intriguing--conversations I've ever had with a child. Cross-sensory perception? Poet? Interesting, wherever it came from.
Kindergarten Music class. I was sitting on a very short chair, with the kids all around me. I was wearing a long, forest green dress.
Jonathan*: Ms. N, your dress feels like grey.
Me: Hmm, Jonathan*. Do you mean that it looks like grey?
Jonathan*: No. It FEELS like grey. It's kind of slippery.
Me: Yep. That's called 'rayon'. It's a kind of fabric.
Jonathan*: It feels grey. Or, like silver. Yes, like silver. It's so, you know, it's so...smooth.
*Jonathan* is, naturally, not this young artist/poet's real name.
