A Block of a Different Shape

As I mentioned earlier in the week, Vin is a smart but odd little bird. He learned his shapes many months ago and is absolutely fixated on them. So much so that when he cannot find things of a certain shape, he makes them up.

He has created a classification system for his Mega Blocks that utilizes all the shapes he knows; circle, square, rectangle, oval, octagon, diamond, and star. He knows that these blocks are not shaped as he’s designated but he insists that they are as he says they are. The system stays exactly the same all the time; the same blocks are always the same shapes. It never changes.
