Yesterday we were over at my parents house for dinner and my sister brought up an interesting conversation. Her and her husband had lunch with a group of people and this conversation was a topic of discussion. The conversation was how everyone can be thinking of the same thing but see it in a different way. For example, my sister asked us to tell her what we saw when we imagined the alphabet in our minds. Our responses were:
Sister: Sees the alphabet in a long straight line with a capital letter followed by a lower case letter on a green background in white lettering.
Dad: Sees the alphabet in a long straight line in all capitals on a white background with black lettering.
Me: I see the alphabet in in rows with 7 letters in each row. All letters are capitalized and follow an alternating pattern in the colors of the rainbow.
Then we imaged the months of the year:
Sister: Sees the months of the year in a long straight line with a white background and black lettering.
Me: I see the months of the year in a circle with a white background and black lettering.
When then did the days of the week:
I can't remember what my sister seen but on the days of the week I see the week starting with Monday in a long straight line and the days are written in fancy cursive script lettering with a white background and black lettering.
So what about you? How do you see the alphabet? Months of the year? The days of the week?

What about everybody can look at the same thing but see something different too!
I see the alphabet in a line
I see the months in a vertical circle
I see the days in a horizontal circle
