Shapes


Two days ago, JT was eating his oyster crackers. I handed him another, and I said, "Look JT, it's an octagon! Like a stop sign!"

JT grabbed the oyster cracker and set it down in front of me.

"Octagon have eight sides. Let's count. One, two, three, four, five, six..." (he looks at me, clearly showing me that was the last side), then saying, "Seven, eight" purposely recounting two sides.

I realized I was WRONG (haha), and corrected myself. "Oh, you're so right. It's a hexagon!

"Hexagon have six sides. One, two, three, four, five, six. It's a hexagon!"

I think he might have an easier time in Geometry than I did...
