Teaching my 3 year old shapes

Sometimes my son is smarter than I expect, this can make teaching him the basics a challenge.  Today we were reviewing shapes and I was trying to make it less abstract and more real world.  I got some fruit from the pantry for circles.  I asked him what the orange, the plum, and the apricot had in common.  I was assuming he would say, circle or round.  He thought for a while and finally, with emphasis, said "They are all juicy!"  I will count that as a correct answer and find another way to discuss shapes.
