Riddles

Who doesn’t love a good riddle? It can really make you think. I have a love and hate relationship with riddles. They are so fun, but can also be so infuriating!

I mean, I think most people get like 9% of riddles right. (idk, don’t quote me on that).

My daughter loves to think, so she loves doing riddles and jokes. I complied some of the ones that we really liked and that I thought she understood the best. I hope you can find some fun in them too!
