Colleen, you’ve got to look up Synesthesia. It’s a psychological phenomenon that about 1 in every 23 people experience and that’s what you’re experiencing when you talk about Monday being red and November being brown. It’s very complex and there’s a lot of different kinds (such as seeing music or tasting words). You’ll be fascinated if you look it up.
I agree! I experience synesthesia, and have color associations with days of the week, months, numbers, letters, and peoples names. For instance, Thursday, March, and 7 are all dark green. August, Wednesday, and 9 are all orange. The name Ryan and 4 are absolutely pink. I’ve tested myself over time to see if it says consistent, and it DOES! So cool and weird because everyone has different associations.
Yes! My oldest son has this. He was 2 and he said people and letters have a color. We never thought much of it. But I had wrote down what color each letter was. Then in 3rd or 4th grade his principal printed out a page of letters. So I tested him with his original and they were exactly the same. And he has a terrible memory so it wasn't just memorizing 26 colors in order.
“Do you know any blonde Megans?” Then Kory’s edit and I laughed for a solid minute. And Maisy making noises and cracking herself up, adorable. Great vlog.
Colleen having her mind blown and Eric just casually saying “oh yeah there’s a lot of things like that about you” just about killed me tonight. Love you Colleen 😂😂😂😂
Reasons Gus doesn’t like Colleen: she put him in costumes & that backpack that made him feel like a goldfish. Reasons Gus loves Erik: they are the same person. Gus is indifferent to people. He’d totally say to the broseph on the longboard “above your pay grade” just like Erik did. Erik is the human Gus aspires to be.
Re: FLOODERS Growing up, pants that were too short were called "high waters". I never really thought about why. But hearing this whole flood pants thing makes me realize there's probably a regional difference in the variations of this term to describe pants that are too short at the ankle. 😮 I guess it doesn't have to be regional per se but there's definitely a link here!
My goodness! Maisy is going to have Flynn's personality where he likes to make everyone laugh while he laughs at himself with everyone! So flipping ADORABLE!
I have only ever known pants that are to short to be called "high waters", or have heard people say "are you expecting a flood" also Maisy's laugh is so cute and makes me laugh every time I hear it, and Wesley looked so big in this vlog they are growing so fast
Synesthesia! One of my favorite psychological concepts. Watching you and Eric go back and forth on this was absolutely hilarious and satisfying. Love y’all!
I’ve always even told pants that are too short are called “high waters” which follows with Erik’s analogy/explanation. I’ve never heard the term “flutters” for short pants 😂 nor have I heard it be called “flooders”, so we all learned something new today 😂😂
Yeah - I’ve heard “high waters” and “floods”, but not “flooders”. I feel like with how much it comes up, we need a video or podcast episode with Gwen talking about all the words she uses for things. 😂
I totally know what Colleen is talking about when she said November is brown, 4 is Thursday, etc. Like each subject in school is a certain color. They just match!
@@Ava-fe4nd EXACTY! Although I usually go purple for History or sometimes I'll swap purple for English and blue for History. But science is always green and math is always red
When you said that Thursday and November are the same, I could definitely relate because for me they are both a dark orange/brownish color. I have synesthesia, and for me this means that all of my numbers and letters have color and also days of the week and months have colors. Definitely recommend looking up synesthesia because you could have it too
Hey Colleen! When you’re talking about Thursday being Autumn / Fall (I’m from the UK) it seems like you’re describing synesthesia. It’s where your brain associates say a name with a colour or an object. It’s so interesting if you have time to look into it. Love you and your whole family!! ❤️
TTQ: What are some of your basic “house rules” you have for Flynn? For example: specific bed times, designated screen time, etc. Do you allow him to bend the rules a little bit on special occasions?
TTQ/Fun Fact: the “vibes” you and Eric talked about is a interesting phenomenon called synesthesia. Not everyone has it and it is usually seemingly unconnected things. For me: 5 is a girl (and 8), the color blue feels cold, if something sounds bad it tastes bad. Would love to know any others you have!!
When I was in school, different grades and subjects had their own color. Like 5th grade was blue, science class was green or blue, math class yellow. So for math class for example, I’d have a yellow folder lol
Colleen, you have the most unique thought process! Flutters is the cutest! When I was growing up (eons ago) we called pants that were too short "high waters", as in you had to wear those high water pants because the creek was up from all that rain and you didn't want to get your pant legs wet! I come from West Virginia so maybe it's an Appalachian term. We have a lot of odd sayings in the southeastern US! 😆
Colleen always talks about how she doesn't know what to vlog but the thing is I'm just here for the company. Her life, while not entirely "normal" obviously, is all of the things I think are so lovely. Obviously with its ups and downs but so authentic and I love this little corner of the internet a lot
Yes!! The best thing about vlogs is *the fact* that they are so mundane. They are comforting and familiar - the "boring" is actually a big part of what makes them so enjoyable to watch! You don't have to entertain us, Colleen hahahah
Colleen thinking her pants were “fluttering” is the cutest damn thing!!!!! She thought she was telling us something cute Flynn said but SHE’S the one who said something cute. 💖💖
Tortilla Talk: What was your singing journey like? Were you always naturally good singer or did you do a lot of training to get to the place you are now? What kind of musicals/choirs were you a part of? As a teenager who's just getting into the awesome world of music and musicals I would love to hear your experiences!
i could’ve criedddd when Maisy was laughing and giggling miss girl looked like she was truly having the time of her life and the serotonin a baby’s laugh gives me UGH i love 😂
I was literally just talking about this with my husband with School subjects. 🤣 Math is red Social studies is blue Science is green English is yellow Surprisingly he totally understood what I was saying🤣
That's interesting! I agree with most of these, except my association for English is different. We had specific colors of notebooks and folders we had to use in elementary school, and English was purple , not yellow. Yellow was spelling. We had a couple others as well. Purple was Religion (I went to a Catholic elementary School). Teal was for reading.
The pants thing: I've NEVER in my life heard of "flooders". I've always called them "high-waters", which they're the same thing just different names. When Erik explained "flooders" it all clicked and I understood what you were talking about lol. Gonna go start a fight about this in the family group chat 😂
Was looking for someone to say this! Yes!! Agree. We would say “the flood is over. The land is dry. So, why do you wear your pants so high?” High waters. That’s what we called them back east. I frequently relate to Eric’s words and pronunciation being from the northeast.
TTQ: As a young teen who’s been following you for a couple years, you have helped me understand more about dermatillomania. For as long as I can remember I’ve picked at my fingers, any scabs on my arms or legs, my back acne and my face and I have similar symptoms as you. I have been diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety disorder and I think I might have dermatillomania. I can’t find anyone who specializes in this disorder near me, I was wondering how you got diagnosed and if it was by a dermatologist, physiologist, specialist or your just your family doctor. I want to know who to go to to see if I qualify for the diagnosis. Thank you for helping me feel validated in what I’m going through.
Hey love, I too have ADHD and generalized anxiety disorder, along with dermatillomania and depression. Dermatillomania is a psychological condition listed in the DSM-5 and you typically need a psychiatrist to officially diagnosis you with it. I am lucky enough to have my therapist and my psychiatrist working together to help me manage my mental health. I wish you all the best! 💗
Colleen!! What you're talking about is called Synesthesia!! It's a thing, it really is! You hear music and see shapes. Or you hear a word and associate it with a color ❤️
Collen even if its you just working and with the babies, we love the vlogs! Literally seeing the twins so healthy and happy now legit brings joy to my day
Erik spinning around to the side in that chair, with his leg crossed over and slowly stroking gus like that gave me major Dr Evil and Mr Bigglesworth vibe lol 😂
TTQ: when you and Eric first told Flynn the twins names, did he like them? Did he have any other names (other than Buttus and John) that he wanted to name them instead? 😂 love you so much! 💖💖💖
The whole conversation you have about Monday being red and Shawn and Ryan being the same is called synthesia, some people experience it and some don't and some experience it stronger than others
hey colleen i also have dermatillomania and i wanted to share a tip that you’ve probably heard before but i order like special stickers ( and i know you kind of have a dislike for stickers ) but the stickers are like extra strong and i put them on the back of my phone and pick them off the back. i find this really distracts me from picking my skin and it still has the satisfying feel! hope you see this!
I find it hilarious the “flutter” thing of the pants.. In Puerto Rico in Spanish we call long pants that are too short “brinca charcos” which translates to “jumping puddles” 🤣 so makes sense with what Erik was saying
where I live we also call them "high waters". "fluttering" is something butterflies do, so I'm really curious how Colleen connected that to pants. edit: she sort of explained.
TTQ: Hey Colleen! I just found out I’m pregnant and I’ll be a first time mom. I also have adhd and struggle with severe anxiety. Any advice you would give to a new mom with handling stress and trying not to worry as much during and after the pregnancy? Your vlogs have gotten me through my days for years now and I can’t wait to continue with you on your journey as I start my new one, much love 🤍
i hope you never stop vlogging because i feel like flynn, maisy jo + wesley are like family that live out of town so i watch them grow through the screen. i do not want it ever to stop! 💗💗💗
Colleen! I did a project in Neuroanatomy on almost exactly what you and Erik were talking about. It’s called Synesthesia! “Synesthesia is a neurological condition in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway (for example, hearing) leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway (such as vision). Simply put, when one sense is activated, another unrelated sense is activated at the same time. This may, for instance, take the form of hearing music and simultaneously sensing the sound as swirls or patterns of color.” There’s a lot of unknown about it, but there’s some cool research articles and videos on it if you want to look it up some more! And I have to agree with you…. Monday IS red….
I love how Colleen starts talking with Eric about what color Monday is or that Sean and Ryan are the same name. I had an argument the other day about what colors subjects are with my friends. So Tortilla Talk question what color do you think Math, ELA (English Language Arts or literature), Science, and Social studies (history and Geography things like that) are. Personally I think Math is red, Ela is yellow or blue, science is green, and social studies is orange.
Its probably because of the colours of the textbooks of those subjects? Like my social studies book was always orange or yellow so i associated those warm colours with this subject. Green for science is also common, either because of book colour which is usually green, or elements like how the environment/nature(part of science) is green. Languages is also either blue or yellow or red for me, depending on which language. Like english is blue for me because of i guess blue cover textbooks, and french is red, for the same reason. Although maths is just white to me, either because of the white covers of my maths textbooks, or maybe just because the subject is the bane of my existence and makes me want to yeet myself into nonexistence which is blankness/white.
@@emy8555 I agree about the text book part. I took Biology for a few years and each year we studied something different. One year we did plants and the book cover was green, so now in university I use a green cover for my ecology notebook, and I use green for Ecology for my timetable. Whereas the human body or zoology I would associate the color pink bc that was the textbook color. Then genetics was blue so it's blue now as well. Physics is green, chemistry is dark blue and orange. Math for some reason is a trendy hot pink for some reason, I don't remember having a hot pink for my math textbook ever.
Colleen! It’s called synesthesia! When you automatically assign colors, shapes or objects to certain words. Apparently some people even see names, objects, or words, with a certain place or direction. For example, the name Nicole would be in a field of flowers, and Dave would be at a construction site. For me, I see Thursday as dark green, and the number 4 as purple. But it’s different for everybody. It’s really cool to learn about. So to answer your question, yes I know what you mean.
@@beckigreen I understand that I don’t have it, but I still experience associating words and letters with colors. I know that that is only a tiny part of what synesthesia actually is, so even if I did have it, I understand that it would be a very mild case. I’m not looking for attention. I’m simply trying to spread information and my knowledge about what synesthesia is. I obviously don’t know what it is actually like to have it, I was just giving an example of my experience.
The toddler struggle is real! It can be too cute. And when they notice you smiling or cracking up and say, "it's not funny" with a pouty grumpy face followed by cracking up themselves ... that always brings me joy.
Tortilla Talk Question: When you gave birth to Flynn you said you automatically felt like yourself again but that didn't happen right away with the twins. Do you feel like you are back to yourself yet or have there been any moments where you have felt like yourself again? (I love you and your vlogs and thank you for everything you do! You should tour in Portland Oregon.)
@@JoshHutchersonOfficial just a couple weeks ago I think. She’s “getting there” but it’ll take time, but also, will she ever or us it just a dual life now, blah blah :)
I love little Maisy's laugh! It is so cute! My cousins are twins and when they were born my Aunt and Uncle named them Brad and Mark because they sounded the same! so i totally agree with you.
Ok COLLEEN PLEASE! SELL THE FRIEND SHIP BRACELETS! Like when we watch your vlog it would be lovely to have your bracelets on and be like “ omg we are bffs” do you think that’s a good idea?
The way Eric was so spot on with his comparisons lmao. I am a Megan who constantly got confused with this girl named Sarah in school and who is also a brunette.
An easy pet you can get Flyn is meal worms. I used to sell them at a pet store. For the bedding you use dry oatmeal, and then you can put the end of a paper roll the carton they like to hide in that.
the talking about what names are “the same” made me laugh so hard because my dads name is brad and his brothers name is mark and they are literal twins so yes brad and mark are the same person.
In philosophy class we had to say what colour each day of the week was and everyone got so passionate about it. I had no idea and just started agreeing with whatever my friend was saying. I was so baffled at how adiment people were about it and how easy they found it 😁
Lol 😂 we called them “floods” if your jeans were above the ankle. But then that has become the style so I think anything works when it comes to jeans. That whole conversation though was so cute and made me laugh! Love and adore you and your sweet family Colleen!! ♥️♥️♥️
ahhhhhh!! the twins have grown so so so so much, they are so big now looking back at previous videos, they have grown so much!! ahh im repeating the same thing over and over again because they really have grown so much, and this journey with your kids is the sweetest thing ever ❤️ I want my mom to have another tiny human!! Tortilla Talk: if you could live somewhere for the REST of your life, where would you live? also yes i do agree with what you are saying about stuff that have the same vibes, but for some stuff i have different vibes you know :)
When Wesley was sitting on Colleen's lap I was like when did he get so big! They looked like newborns for so long and now they look like babies. If that makes sense.
When Colleen said "What colour is Monday" and Eric said "Blue". I completely agree and I said Blue at the same time he did. Also,I loved this random conversation you were having with Eric about things with the same vive. Also Also I love your vídeos. Thank you for still doing them despite how obviously busy you currently are.
Immediately clicked on your video!! Thank you for everything Colleen i’m so happy I’ve never been so early before ❤️ Love you so so so much I love you and your family to add Eric, Flynn , Maisy , and definitely not least Wesley I can’t wait too see how they all turn out
13:20 .. I would have to say Erik’s explanation is spot on .. because growing up where I’m from, (NYC), everyone calls it “high waters” when your pants are too short
tortilla talk question: you mentioned you writing a new song!! would you and erik ever write a song together? y’all are so cute when you sing/play instruments together for your kids 😩😩
Hi Coleen! I’ve never been early to one of your vids but I just want to say that you’re an amazing mom, and your videos always make my day. It feels great that I’m not alone in my mental health journey, so thank you for all you do!
I just wanna say thank you Colleen for your vlogs I know you probably don’t realize how much you help other people even on a day-to-day basis with even the smallest things but I’ve been going through a lot lately and these have helped keep me afloat and distract my mind sometimes when it all gets too much. We appreciate and love you so much Colleen thank you ❤
"not a good song writer" and she's literally been writing awesome comedy shows with songs for years. Colleen, you're one of my first and still strongest women role models, I've been watching you for easily a decade now. You are talented and GOOD at what you do! The process doesn't mean failure, you've just started on certain songs and things!
Hi Colleen. I'm a songwriter for my other channel known as Lammy's Club and I can tell you how people write songs. Okay so first there's an intro, then the first verse. Then there's a chorus. Then there's a second verse. Then the chorus again. Then the bridge or rap. Then the chorus for the last time and finally there's an outro. What I usually do is write down the words and then I try to think of a good melody in my head. Then finally I bring it to my dad and I tell him what the lyrics are and what the song sounds like. I know that you probably will come up with a great song, you just have to let it come to you and then you'll be all set for working on a song and for performing a great show. Love your content on your channels that you have.
I totally get it!! I agree that Thursday and 4 and fall are the same lol. I always relate school subjects to colors. Spanish is red, science is green, math is blue, history is yellow, idk what language arts is. Maybe purple? 💜 I love you Colleen!! Thank you for continuing to vlog for us for two years nearly every day. It’s gotten me through the world flipping upside down, and I can’t thank you enough for that. After two years in quarantine, it’s so wonderful seeing you on tour and being so happy and fulfilled again. I know how much you really missed it. I’m really happy for you 💜 you deserve it and more
tortilla talk question: hi colleen!! so, you used to read letters from your P.o. box all the time at the beginning of quarantine. do you still check your p.o. box? do you still read your letters? just wondering :)sending love to you and your family 💜💜
Flynn's love of cockroaches is the polar opposite of my son. He's a little older than Flynn and his favorite animal is the pink flamingo. Toddlers are so adorable. Also, your color-word-season association is synesthesia. I do the same thing with music!

Synesthesia! That’s the feeling of combining something with a color or a feeling. I TOTALLY AGREE
A challenge you should try is when you have the baby try to find this comment and update everybody that you had it!
“Do you know any blonde Megans?” Then Kory’s edit and I laughed for a solid minute. And Maisy making noises and cracking herself up, adorable. Great vlog.

“Flooders” term is used when pants are too long and “high-waters” are when pants are too short : )
always heard “high waters” too but would ask others “where’s the flood?”
My mom always called them floods. I wonder if it's a regional thing, since she is from california like colleen's family
Colleen, have you ever looked into synesthesia? The way you describe things having "vibes" is a literal way of experiencing the world.

Gus respects Erik because he gives him boundaries, classic. He trusts him 🙌
My grandmother calls pants “highwaters” when pants are too short 😂 also maisy yelling is how I feel 24\7 ahaha
lol I do too. I’m from Ohio. I thought it was just an Ohio thing lol
@@TatianaOwens I’m from Massachusetts, so I guess not! 😆
TTQ: As a young teen who’s been following you for a couple years, you have helped me understand more about dermatillomania. For as long as I can remember I’ve picked at my fingers, any scabs on my arms or legs, my back acne and my face and I have similar symptoms as you. I have been diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety disorder and I think I might have dermatillomania. I can’t find anyone who specializes in this disorder near me, I was wondering how you got diagnosed and if it was by a dermatologist, physiologist, specialist or your just your family doctor. I want to know who to go to to see if I qualify for the diagnosis. Thank you for helping me feel validated in what I’m going through.
Yess i relate to this so much! I hope colleen answers this! Dermatillomania sucks😭💔
Hey love, I too have ADHD and generalized anxiety disorder, along with dermatillomania and depression. Dermatillomania is a psychological condition listed in the DSM-5 and you typically need a psychiatrist to officially diagnosis you with it. I am lucky enough to have my therapist and my psychiatrist working together to help me manage my mental health. I wish you all the best! 💗
You go to your normal doctor and they are the ones who do all the referrals for all your concerns! 💃🏻
Those 30 second songs you have would be perfect for tik tok! So they won't go to waste, win win! ❤️
Colleen!! What you're talking about is called Synesthesia!! It's a thing, it really is! You hear music and see shapes. Or you hear a word and associate it with a color ❤️
I dont know if its the same but i associate words, number etc. with gender and personality
blue is definitely Tuesday and Maisy was trying to talk and make you laugh and she just started to laugh herself so cute I understand you colleen
Collen even if its you just working and with the babies, we love the vlogs! Literally seeing the twins so healthy and happy now legit brings joy to my day
Erik spinning around to the side in that chair, with his leg crossed over and slowly stroking gus like that gave me major Dr Evil and Mr Bigglesworth vibe lol 😂
TTQ: when you and Eric first told Flynn the twins names, did he like them? Did he have any other names (other than Buttus and John) that he wanted to name them instead? 😂 love you so much! 💖💖💖
I wondered the same thing!
and who would be buttus and who would be john🤣🤣
Flynn walking by the camera and saying bugssss made me laugh way too hard. Also, yes, Thursday is the number four.
You could throw the friendship bracelets out to people in the audience at your shows 🥰
I was gonna suggest the same . Yupio throw them out to ur fans at ur shows.
I was going to comment the same thing.
The whole conversation you have about Monday being red and Shawn and Ryan being the same is called synthesia, some people experience it and some don't and some experience it stronger than others
hey colleen i also have dermatillomania and i wanted to share a tip that you’ve probably heard before but i order like special stickers ( and i know you kind of have a dislike for stickers ) but the stickers are like extra strong and i put them on the back of my phone and pick them off the back. i find this really distracts me from picking my skin and it still has the satisfying feel! hope you see this!
I find it hilarious the “flutter” thing of the pants.. In Puerto Rico in Spanish we call long pants that are too short “brinca charcos” which translates to “jumping puddles” 🤣 so makes sense with what Erik was saying
In the south we call them high waters. Or ask if people are expecting a flood.
You can tell the babies are discovering their voices! I feel like Maziey was laughing at her own sounds ! So cute
OK, this reminds me so much of that one way you play Guess Who where you say like "is your character a Karen" or "has your character been to jail"
where I live we also call them "high waters".
"fluttering" is something butterflies do, so I'm really curious how Colleen connected that to pants.
edit: she sort of explained.
Same! My dad has always called them high waters
Yes! High waters!!
Dude where's the flood.. cuz you're wearing high waters!
yes!! high waters is what my family calls them too!
When Colleen said “What day of the week is 4?” I immediately was like THURSDAY!!
It's because Thursday is the 4th day of the week. It's not rocket science lol
@@pcatma that’s not the reason babes, check yourself before replying
that literally do be the reason though 😭
Wondering if this subconsciously means she agrees with Erik that Monday is the 1st day of the week 🤣
If Thursday is 4, then Monday is 1 and the first color in rainbow order is red. It makes perfect sense.
Yes yes yes! Agree with you on all of the same vibes. Thursday, Fall, November, four, brown…. YES
We always call them “high waters” when panda are too short.
Do you get what I’m saying? Lol
Yep they were called high waters
TTQ: Hey Colleen! I just found out I’m pregnant and I’ll be a first time mom. I also have adhd and struggle with severe anxiety. Any advice you would give to a new mom with handling stress and trying not to worry as much during and after the pregnancy? Your vlogs have gotten me through my days for years now and I can’t wait to continue with you on your journey as I start my new one, much love 🤍
congatulations on the pregnancy! hoping it goes smoothly!
@@savannah284 thank you!
@@ambie1387 of course! I'll keep you in mind and pray for an amazing pregnancy and birth!
@@savannah284 that is so sweet thank you!
i hope you never stop vlogging because i feel like flynn, maisy jo + wesley are like family that live out of town so i watch them grow through the screen. i do not want it ever to stop! 💗💗💗
Anyone else remember Flynn’s “Dar Dar” days? Love them so much ♥️♥️
Colleen! I did a project in Neuroanatomy on almost exactly what you and Erik were talking about. It’s called Synesthesia!
“Synesthesia is a neurological condition in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway (for example, hearing) leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway (such as vision). Simply put, when one sense is activated, another unrelated sense is activated at the same time. This may, for instance, take the form of hearing music and simultaneously sensing the sound as swirls or patterns of color.”
There’s a lot of unknown about it, but there’s some cool research articles and videos on it if you want to look it up some more! And I have to agree with you…. Monday IS red….
I felt the exact same when I called “Cuff links” like for a suit “Cufflings” my whole life, honestly blew my mind😂
Colleen: will swear that the week starts on a Sunday until she is blue in the face.
Also Colleen: Thursday is also the number 4.
OKAY COLLEEN. OKAY.
THIS! this is exactly what i was thinking
Yea it should be the number 5 🤣
colleen, Your vlogs are such a rollercoaster rides of emotions! I cry, I laugh and I RELATE!! Love you so much!
HIGH WATERS!!! it took me so long with it on the tip of my tongue. But that is what we called them. Love you!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love how Colleen starts talking with Eric about what color Monday is or that Sean and Ryan are the same name. I had an argument the other day about what colors subjects are with my friends. So Tortilla Talk question what color do you think Math, ELA (English Language Arts or literature), Science, and Social studies (history and Geography things like that) are. Personally I think Math is red, Ela is yellow or blue, science is green, and social studies is orange.
Its probably because of the colours of the textbooks of those subjects? Like my social studies book was always orange or yellow so i associated those warm colours with this subject. Green for science is also common, either because of book colour which is usually green, or elements like how the environment/nature(part of science) is green. Languages is also either blue or yellow or red for me, depending on which language. Like english is blue for me because of i guess blue cover textbooks, and french is red, for the same reason.
Although maths is just white to me, either because of the white covers of my maths textbooks, or maybe just because the subject is the bane of my existence and makes me want to yeet myself into nonexistence which is blankness/white.
omg I stopped at history, and said EXACTLY THE SAME THING YOU DID. I screamed when I read the rest of your comment lol
What about numbers like 3 is orange 5 is blue 9 is totally purple and 4 is pink.
Also Sunday is purple and Wednesday is winter
@@emy8555 I agree about the text book part. I took Biology for a few years and each year we studied something different. One year we did plants and the book cover was green, so now in university I use a green cover for my ecology notebook, and I use green for Ecology for my timetable. Whereas the human body or zoology I would associate the color pink bc that was the textbook color. Then genetics was blue so it's blue now as well. Physics is green, chemistry is dark blue and orange. Math for some reason is a trendy hot pink for some reason, I don't remember having a hot pink for my math textbook ever.
For me math is yellow, science is blue or green, English is purple
Colleen! It’s called synesthesia! When you automatically assign colors, shapes or objects to certain words. Apparently some people even see names, objects, or words, with a certain place or direction. For example, the name Nicole would be in a field of flowers, and Dave would be at a construction site. For me, I see Thursday as dark green, and the number 4 as purple. But it’s different for everybody. It’s really cool to learn about. So to answer your question, yes I know what you mean.
I commented the same. Did you know Billy Eilish has it. lol 2 yellow 3 is red. I agree Dave is at a construction site... makes perfect sense
that's true!!!
Lucy, You don’t have synesthesia.
You’re just looking for attention.
@@beckigreen I understand that I don’t have it, but I still experience associating words and letters with colors. I know that that is only a tiny part of what synesthesia actually is, so even if I did have it, I understand that it would be a very mild case. I’m not looking for attention. I’m simply trying to spread information and my knowledge about what synesthesia is. I obviously don’t know what it is actually like to have it, I was just giving an example of my experience.
@@beckigreen you are
The toddler struggle is real! It can be too cute. And when they notice you smiling or cracking up and say, "it's not funny" with a pouty grumpy face followed by cracking up themselves
... that always brings me joy.
Tortilla Talk Question: When you gave birth to Flynn you said you automatically felt like yourself again but that didn't happen right away with the twins. Do you feel like you are back to yourself yet or have there been any moments where you have felt like yourself again? (I love you and your vlogs and thank you for everything you do! You should tour in Portland Oregon.)
@@JoshHutchersonOfficial just a couple weeks ago I think. She’s “getting there” but it’ll take time, but also, will she ever or us it just a dual life now, blah blah :)
yes portland!!! i stg no one comes here :((
@@anastasia.beaverhousen and like herself, just a different version
YES PORTLAND!
she has answered this question.
I love little Maisy's laugh! It is so cute! My cousins are twins and when they were born my Aunt and Uncle named them Brad and Mark because they sounded the same! so i totally agree with you.
@8:00 “Joe Hortons” LMAO Eric is hilarious 😂
Ok COLLEEN PLEASE! SELL THE FRIEND SHIP BRACELETS! Like when we watch your vlog it would be lovely to have your bracelets on and be like “ omg we are bffs” do you think that’s a good idea?
The way Eric was so spot on with his comparisons lmao. I am a Megan who constantly got confused with this girl named Sarah in school and who is also a brunette.
An easy pet you can get Flyn is meal worms. I used to sell them at a pet store. For the bedding you use dry oatmeal, and then you can put the end of a paper roll the carton they like to hide in that.
the talking about what names are “the same” made me laugh so hard because my dads name is brad and his brothers name is mark and they are literal twins so yes brad and mark are the same person.
In philosophy class we had to say what colour each day of the week was and everyone got so passionate about it. I had no idea and just started agreeing with whatever my friend was saying. I was so baffled at how adiment people were about it and how easy they found it 😁
synasthesia
It's called Synesthesia
it was so cute how maisy was doing that! i think she figured out she oul make you laugh to and was finding it funny!
As a Canadian, how dare Erik take our overlord, Tim’s name in vain. All hail the donut lord, Tim Horton! 😉
DONUT LORD, TIM HORTON!!!!!!
Short pants are definitely called “floods” or “high waters”. So funny they were flutters. 😂 I love when we realize things like that in adulthood!
😂”love, you need an intervention” that made me laugh out loud.
Lol 😂 we called them “floods” if your jeans were above the ankle. But then that has become the style so I think anything works when it comes to jeans. That whole conversation though was so cute and made me laugh! Love and adore you and your sweet family Colleen!! ♥️♥️♥️
ahhhhhh!! the twins have grown so so so so much, they are so big now looking back at previous videos, they have grown so much!! ahh im repeating the same thing over and over again because they really have grown so much, and this journey with your kids is the sweetest thing ever ❤️ I want my mom to have another tiny human!! Tortilla Talk: if you could live somewhere for the REST of your life, where would you live? also yes i do agree with what you are saying about stuff that have the same vibes, but for some stuff i have different vibes you know :)
When Wesley was sitting on Colleen's lap I was like when did he get so big! They looked like newborns for so long and now they look like babies. If that makes sense.
So adorable I can’t 🥰🥰
@@imjuliewaters I know! Like he was holding he head up so we'll and looked so big!!! 😍
I love genes - Maisy and Wesley look so different but I see Flynn in both of them! In different ways. Genes are cooool!
Yesssss Ryan and Sean are the same name and I totally agreed with all of those like how bunnies are Mittens and November is Thursday
i’m so excited for my show in august. vancouver has missed you so much 🥹
I loved bugs when I was younger and it makes me so happy to see Flynn and his love for them too.
When Colleen said "What colour is Monday" and Eric said "Blue". I completely agree and I said Blue at the same time he did. Also,I loved this random conversation you were having with Eric about things with the same vive. Also Also I love your vídeos. Thank you for still doing them despite how obviously busy you currently are.
Yeah I totally agree and Tuesday is green or yellow
Immediately clicked on your video!! Thank you for everything Colleen i’m so happy I’ve never been so early before ❤️ Love you so so so much I love you and your family to add Eric, Flynn , Maisy , and definitely not least Wesley I can’t wait too see how they all turn out
13:20 .. I would have to say Erik’s explanation is spot on .. because growing up where I’m from, (NYC), everyone calls it “high waters” when your pants are too short
tortilla talk question: you mentioned you writing a new song!! would you and erik ever write a song together? y’all are so cute when you sing/play instruments together for your kids 😩😩
Your vlogs always make me feel okay even when I'm feeling anxious, thank you.
Totally agree! Especially Thursday vibing with fall and november
This is literally the highlight of my day
SAME COLLEENS VLOGS>>>
Hi Coleen! I’ve never been early to one of your vids but I just want to say that you’re an amazing mom, and your videos always make my day. It feels great that I’m not alone in my mental health journey, so thank you for all you do!
I just wanna say thank you Colleen for your vlogs I know you probably don’t realize how much you help other people even on a day-to-day basis with even the smallest things but I’ve been going through a lot lately and these have helped keep me afloat and distract my mind sometimes when it all gets too much. We appreciate and love you so much Colleen thank you ❤
"not a good song writer" and she's literally been writing awesome comedy shows with songs for years. Colleen, you're one of my first and still strongest women role models, I've been watching you for easily a decade now. You are talented and GOOD at what you do! The process doesn't mean failure, you've just started on certain songs and things!
Why does the song sound like the relax theme song 😂
Hi Colleen. I'm a songwriter for my other channel known as Lammy's Club and I can tell you how people write songs. Okay so first there's an intro, then the first verse. Then there's a chorus. Then there's a second verse. Then the chorus again. Then the bridge or rap. Then the chorus for the last time and finally there's an outro. What I usually do is write down the words and then I try to think of a good melody in my head. Then finally I bring it to my dad and I tell him what the lyrics are and what the song sounds like. I know that you probably will come up with a great song, you just have to let it come to you and then you'll be all set for working on a song and for performing a great show. Love your content on your channels that you have.
I totally get it!! I agree that Thursday and 4 and fall are the same lol. I always relate school subjects to colors. Spanish is red, science is green, math is blue, history is yellow, idk what language arts is. Maybe purple? 💜 I love you Colleen!! Thank you for continuing to vlog for us for two years nearly every day. It’s gotten me through the world flipping upside down, and I can’t thank you enough for that. After two years in quarantine, it’s so wonderful seeing you on tour and being so happy and fulfilled again. I know how much you really missed it. I’m really happy for you 💜 you deserve it and more
Math is red for me, science is green, yellow is history, and English/reading is blue
@@FatherArmin these are all so wrong 😭math is green, science is yellow, history is blue, and english is red
@@ChespinCraft lol math is red science is green..lol
@@ChespinCraft that hurts my soul 😂 I love how we all perceive things differently it’s quite fun to see what other people see
@@erin4321 yes that’s what I think!!!
tortilla talk question:
hi colleen!! so, you used to read letters from your P.o. box all the time at the beginning of quarantine. do you still check your p.o. box? do you still read your letters? just wondering :)sending love to you and your family 💜💜
Maisy’s little conversation is so adorableeeed
I cannot get over the fact that Flynn loves cockroaches so much 🤣
Thursday is Number Four and that is Fact.
Colleen, on Relax: the week definitely starts on Sunday
Also Colleen: Thursday is definitely 4
Erik, probably: so the week does start on Monday ...
I had the same thought 😂
I was thinking the exact same thing! She needs to see this
I have synesthesia too. Here’s my weekday “vibes:” Monday, orange; Tuesday, blue; Wednesday, teal, Thursday, brown; Friday,green; Saturday, pink; Sunday, yellow✌🏻
Flynn's love of cockroaches is the polar opposite of my son. He's a little older than Flynn and his favorite animal is the pink flamingo. Toddlers are so adorable.
Also, your color-word-season association is synesthesia. I do the same thing with music!
