A parallelogram in which angles are oblique and adjacent sides are of unequal length.

All rhomboids are parallelograms, but not all parallelograms are rhomboids. A rhombus is parallelogram, but not a rhomboid. A three-dimensional rhomboid is a parallelopiped. Got it?

Petey’s question was unfair. Dad never said he knew all about shapes and colors, only that he knew shapes and colors. It’s good to know what a square is. Heck it’s even good to know what an octagon is – and that if you’re in a car and see a red one, it might be good to stop.

Anyone remember the Calvin and Hobbes story where he makes a leaf collection? I believe it got quite interesting…even involving aliens at one point…

Ah, the old “I’m a grown-up” ploy! It’s a good thing Peter is mild-mannered, Petey, or you might earn a severe reprimand….
