The Answer To The Riddle Is.....


Cocaine Princess here.

Out of the 12 months I find November the most depressing. The days are shorter, the temperatures drop and the whole world outside turns to a strange shade of grey before being covered in the dreadful snow. November is a heavy eyed month nestled between the sugar-rush of Halloween and the high-energy-oomph and excitement of the December holiday season.

On Monday 'A' had yet another appointment with Doc Croc in the city. In case anyone is interested he wore purple socks with red colored crocs. He removed her air cast and asked if she could move her ankle around. It took some struggle but she managed to do it. Since her ankle is almost somewhat healed she doesn't need to wear her cast 24/7. She's allowed to walk without it for 30 minutes everyday and is now allowed to go up and down the stairs. And instead of crutches she now walks with a cane. Before we left Doc Croc gave a schedule of her physio-therapy dates which will occur here at the local hospital. I told my sister I really would have preferred the therapy be done in the city. 'Because it gives you an excuse to go shopping while I'm getting therapy,' she said. 'You know me so well,' I replied back. 'And I know you well enough to know you want to go to the mall now , right?' 'Well since we're already here................'

'A' was so use to walking the past several weeks on her crutches she found walking with a cane a tad difficult with the weight of the cast adding to the problem.

By the time we left the hospital it was close to lunch. Inside the mall my sister made a comment, 'this isn't the way to the food court.' 'I know,' I replied. 'Today I'm picking the place to eat.'

THE RIDDLE

Seems this riddle has gotten everyone's panties in a knot. I must say I was surprised. I was dead sure at least a couple of you would have gotten the answer. I suppose that's easy for me to say because I know what the answer is.

To review:

.......Another very familiar face stopped by; the playboy who went to Vegas. He was dressed up as a frog. I said to him, 'you're such a cute frog.' 'I'm not a cute frog. I'm an evil frog,' he said back. 'My apologies. I still think you're cute,' I added. 'You know what I told Robbie?' 'Who's Robbie?' I questioned. 'My friend. I told him that you're my girlfriend.' 'I am? So when are you going to take me out to dinner?' He thought about this for a minute and said, 'mommy can make us macaroni and cheese.' 'Perfect. That's my favorite,' I replied. Busy filling his mouth with chocolates he then said, 'I have a riddle. You wanna hear it?' 'Lay it on me froggie,' I said.

'What stays in for dinner but goes out at night?'

I thought about it and I admit I drew a complete blank. 'I don't know,' I said. 'You have to guess,' he insisted. So I thought about it some more. Two of my fellow bloggers said a vampire and the other a cat. Those were my guesses too but that wasn't the answer. 'I give up. Tell me.' 'Just a second,' he said. Froggie popped in a couple of more mini chocolate bars. He had a little trouble opening the Aero wrapper. 'Would you like me to open it?' I asked. 'No I got it,' he answered. After several failed attempts he then requested I open it. As I did he asked a question about the cook who was in the kitchen putting the dishes away. 'Is that your nanny?' 'No she's not my nanny. I'm a little old for one. She's the cook.' 'We have a cook too and a nanny. Does she live with you?' 'No she goes home at night.' 'Our cook lady and nanny live downstairs.' Handing him the chocolate I asked a very important question, 'do you know the proper way to eat an Aero? I can only give this to you if you know how.' 'I know how. Let me show you.' He took the little piece and placed it on his tongue and waited until it melted. 'See just like in the commercial.' 'That's right. Now please tell me what the answer is.' 'In a minute. I have something else to tell you. In four Saturdays I'm having breakfast with Santa Claus.' 'You are? Aren't you a lucky little frog,' I stated. 'Do you have your list ready to show him?' 'Yeah.' 'And how many pages is it?' 'Only one. And next Friday I'm going to see Madagascar 2.' 'The first one is funny isn't it?' ' Yeah. They get lost again,' he said. 'Now what's the answer?' 'Guess,' he said again. 'No more guesses,' I pleaded. 'Alright. Dentures.' 'Huh?' 'THE ANSWER TO THE RIDDLE IS DENTURES,' said froggie. Oh my God I started laughing. 'Do you get it?' 'Yes. Where did you hear that riddle?' 'From my Nonna,' he said back. 'And you know what dentures are?' 'My Nonna showed me once. She had them in a glass of water. You know my Nonna lost her dentures.' 'How did she lose them?' 'She forgot where she put them so mommy had to take her to the dentist and they gave her a new one,' he replied.

So bloggers that is the answer to the riddle.

It's finally Friday.

Everyone have a fantastic weekend!

XOXOXOXO,

Damn! See that's why I cringe at a riddle, they are always so much easier than you would think, but then again it's been a long time since i've seen dentures so maybe that's why it hasn't come to my mind. Thanks CP- glad to hear A is back up and 'skipping' with a cane, i bet those would be hard to walk on. Cheers to you my friend, i hope you have a wonderful weekend as well!

What's with the Aero and why melt it on the tongue?

You made a typo, it's NANA.

Princess I asked once before about the nannies in your neighborhood. Do all the moms work, is that the reason for them hiring nannies to look after their children?

OMG that IS FUNNY!
My friends laughed!
I would have never guessed that- dentures. This is why riddles give me headaches, the answers are so easy and simple yet I can never come up with the right one.

Froggie reminds me of a little boy I use to babysit.

Dentures? I admit I was totally stumped on that one.

Cute.

I still think the answer is 'my ex wife,' or at least it should be.

Peace out chickie.

I knew that was the answer. It came to me right after I drank some Smirnoff.

You have a wonderful weekend too.

The company has a commercial that's being airing for years. The only way to eat an AERO is by breaking off a piece and placing it on your tongue so you can taste the milky bubbles dissolve.

No newbie, it isn't a typo. It's NONA.

Most all of the moms don't work.

Peace to you too.

Princess it's 10:16. If none of the moms work what do they do all day long that permits them not to look after their own children? Why hire a nanny?

Dentures? That was the farthest thing from my mind.

Shumie's answer was the wrong answer.
Shumie doesn't like riddles so shumie is sad.

Mrs. Realife said...

Ha! That made me laugh... dentures :)

I would want to have to visit the area of the mall for practical reasons, too... good call --

How cute is that frog?! I mean, seriously... he is clearly well educated and his parents must include him in their lives just like any other adult around or he wouldn't be able to carry on such an intelligent conversation -- I love smart kids :)

OK... thank you, again, for always reading my blog -- I look forward to your comments -- Happy weekend :)

p.s. -- I'm loving your new pics!

I told the riddle to my husband and two sons. We all came up with vampire. Dentures-LOL!!!

I finally heard Madonna's new song on the radio Miles Away. It's a wonderful song but I couldn't help but think of what she said at the concert...

What on earth is a shumie?

I'm sorry you're sad.

newlywedcentral,
Happy weekend to you too.
Thank you for the kind words.

k.p. williams,
Someone explained to me about shumie but it's still a riddle to me.

*******
I corrected the word. I made a spelling error- It's NONNA. Two Ns and not one.

Kids are soooo cute!

Not mine. I don't wear panties. I wear Homer Simpson Boxers. This riddle had my boxers in a knot, princess.

Are you talking about the sandwich place inside the Suntrust Center?

Anonymous said...

The answer is DENTURES?!?! Give it up for froggie!!

9:47-- Let's say for arguments sake newbie is clueless, imagine how clueless the lawyer is he interns for.

Have you been to the Suntrust Center, butterfly? If so, what reason?

Anonymous said...

Crap on a cracker! Nobody in the office came up with dentures.

To the absurd individual at 4:40, many of Miami's finest and hardest working individuals work at the Dade County Courthouse. Take your preposterous statement and shove it where the sun don't shine Jack!

6:46-- I would have used another set of words to the anonymous ass at 4:40.

So princess tell us- what were you doing in the Suntrust Building?

You ask me that question as if I was the only person who has ever gone inside.

Anonymous said...

4:40, What's your problem?

6:46, I agree.

I still have enough hair for a fairly good comb over. My eye sight isn't as good as it use to be so I wear glasses most of the time. The only thing I still have are my teeth, which is probably why I couldn't come up with an answer for froggie's riddle.

Princess were you by chance visiting anyone in the building?
