When I get a bag of multi-coloured candy, whether it be Gummy Bears, Robin Eggs, Skittles, or M & Ms, I have to sort through and find out how many different colours are in there.
Six? Then I will have one of each colour, and always eaten in the same order, usually in the same order as the colour wheel – red, orange, yellow, green and blue. And the brown one by itself. When I run out of one colour, then I will have five candies. Not five of one shade and an extra to make six. Five. Then four. Three. Two.
And then the last odd ones sit in the jar for ever.
I keep my coloured pencils in colour wheel order: black, red, orange, yada, yada, and brown on the far end. A box of 64 Crayolas can send me into a nervous swivet!
And I’m not really OCD. I’m CDO, so the letters are in the correct order!
