Tonight at family dinner, we started telling riddles to each other.
Jimmy and Johnny loved it. Even Alice was having fun watching even though she didn't have much of a clue what we were talking about, she just knew somepin' was funny.
Here some of our riddles:
James: A 50's eatery with an owie
Answer: a diner-sore (get it diner-sore, like dinosaur?)
Anna: a Cheese that makes you hungry
Answer: Mun-cheese (get it mun-cheese, like munchies?)
Jimmy: What is a warm dog?
Answer: a hot dog!
James:
What kind of room has no walls?
Answer: a mush-room!
Johnny: What is a rock and a star?
Answer: a rock star!
Jimmy: what is a tree that has a house?
Answer: a tree house
Jimmy and Johnny were using mostly riddles they had learned off of the back of their gogurts, and then simplifying them a bit :) James and I began to get really competitive with one another thinking up hard riddles. I got really tricky and even threw in a little Chinese as a curve ball
Anna: What is erzi (兒子) and guang (光)?
Answer: Sunshine
In the end, I came up with a riddle that James has yet to solve (yes!). It was driving him nuts that he couldn't guess it. Can you?
Anna: What reptile's name is a "poop + out loud"?
Answer: ?
I am so tickled I made up one too hard for my husband to guess it. Jimmy and Johnny loved it that the final riddle involved feces.
PS- You're probably thinking what the heck do pig noses have to do with family riddles? Well nothing really at all. I didn't have a picture of tonight's dinner, so I decided to post some other pictures I had taken last month of us goofing off around the dinner table. Thanks Lisa for the piggie-nose-taping-memory-from-our-childhood-idea. I had forgotten all about that!
