Off topic random brain fixation.

[randomphantoms]

Talking with a 3 year old over the weekend and the child said that they wanted to "fall up". We had been talking about petals falling from flowers in a hanging basket.

My brain fixated on this contradiction.

Does anyone else do this?

The closest I have come to an answer that would not limit the child's imagination were....

A. Astronaut training (vomit comet)

B. From the very bottom of a bungee jump. Or

C. I'm not sure what this one is called but that thing like a vertical wind tunnel where the air forces you upwards.

Any other ideas?

This took ages and I wasn't able to give the child any of these options as it was the next day.

My other recent fixation is with an advert for summer toys and I love the bubble machine in it.

Hope everyone is as well as possible.

love oxymorons! ( not sure of spelling eek! ) my three year old came running up the garden once screaming her head off, I ran to her 'what's wrong? what's wrong?! ' she screamed ' that flower bit me! ' pointing at nettles growing through the fence.

I sometimes get jingles from adverts or songs that just keep repeating over and over in my head.....until/unless I can successfully replace them with something else.

Spent my last half hour bike ride trying to remember a french song my kids used to sing when learning about the weather in French. Random or what !!?

My now 23 yr old looked at me very strangely when I asked him about it.

Now that one I get Moo.

I see it as either a sign of progress meaning that riding a bike has become more automatic and you have brain capacity left to wonder about other things.

Or riding a bike was one of the undamaged connections.

Yes, I actually tripped while hurrying while going up the stairs and fell up the stairs, as weird as that may sound.

I changed fixated on people's certain colours of clothes. Which could come across voyeuristic Doesn't matter what colours are on.

[randomphantoms in reply to Ghost-on-point]

Is it new since your injury or more recent?

I recognised shape and colour even though I didn't know the words for them.

Usually my fixating is somehow connected to trying to learn.

It could be that your fixating on colour is similar and will pass as your recognition becomes more automatic.

If it makes life easier for you just decide that all yellows are yellow. That way you don't have to work out if a particular yellow is buttercup or lemon.

Think new. Use colours to stay on track at work. Also to digest the words under highlighters. Black & white, will miss invisible bits that are there.. Plus Enjoy colours somehow
