Re: A Riddle. Do U know the answer?

I know it

ETA - I think when I was younger the concept was more foreign to me than in this day and age - today, it's no longer a riddle - it's a no brainer!!! Chat Icon

Re: A Riddle. Do U know the answer?

I've heard it so many times, I knew the answer after I knew it was a riddle, and it started off with a man and a boy in an accident....

I did a similar riddle with DS the other day:

I have two coins that add up to 26 cents. One of them is not a quarter. What coins do I have?

Good call Goldenrod! It's the day and age of blended families!

I gave my 2 guys that quarter riddle. My older son could NOT get it. He was coming up with complex ways to try and answer it. My 6 year old got it IMMEDIATELY!Chat Icon

i heard it when I was younger & it always stuck with me.



Me too. Because it's a lesson in the stereotypes we have of men vs. women. Why can't a woman be a surgeon?

Re: A Riddle. Do U know the answer?

This one is so old I knew it before I finished reading the first line.

Even the first time I heard it, years ago, it was pretty obvious.

ETA: The first time I heard it a little differently, there's no mention of the father being in the accident and dying. The surgeon says "That is my son" and the boy wakes up and says "That is not my father", how can that be?
