square pegs, etc.

There are different things that can happen when you repeatedly shove a square peg into a round hole.

Maybe the peg is made of a stronger material than the hole, and it breaks the frame, allowing pegs of many different shapes to enter.

Or maybe the peg and the hole are equally strong, so they keep bouncing off of each other.

Or the peg is softer than the hole, and over time the sides get whittled down until the peg becomes rounded. In the most extreme case, the peg becomes entirely round.

In any case I am learning that it's hard to be the wrong shape.

And also that I might have some talent for writing horoscopes or fortune cookies.
