I love solving riddles,and I was reading some riddles the other day that seemed a bit profane if you ask me,so it got me thinking,what age should we introduce riddles to kids?Why should we introduce them to kids at that age?Do you think some riddles send the wrong message?At what age did your parents introduce you to riddles?What were your favorite riddles when you were a kid?What are your favorite riddles now? Do you still solve riddles for fun?I know some of you will wonder what riddles I read that were profane,and I will go ahead and say that I wish not to discuss them because I think they are really profane,and will do nothing but offend some of you fine mylotters,I think that kids should get introduced to riddles at a young age,because riddles can be a good source of fun,as long as parents monitor the riddles,and make sure the content is not profane,and I definetely think some of the riddles send the wrong message since some of them tend to be not true,and make people assume things that are not correct,I think my parents introduced me to riddles as soon as I was old enough to read,but I am not exactly sure since that has been a long time,some of my favorite riddles when I was a kid in school were,A man goes to work one morning,his chair was missing so he died,why?If anyone wants to guess at this riddle feel free,and I will allow you to ask thirty questions to try and help you get to the answer,and I also liked the one that goes,the music stopped the lady died why?Also feel free guess at that one too,and you can also ask thirty questions on that one to try and come to the answer,now my favorite riddles are any riddles that are any good,such as the ones you find on popsicle sticks,and I am always looking for new riddles to solve,so if you have any good riddles to share,please share them with me, because I feel that solving riddles is a good way to improve ones knowledge because it helps people to think,and it sometimes help people to think outside the box,which is good to do every once in a while,and I wish more people would spend the time solving riddles because I think they would learn a lot from them.

I don't think my parents introduced me to riddles. From my recollection, we first encountered them in school. Unfortunately, I'm too late to guess at your riddles, but I have a couple of fairly simple ones for you.
1. If it takes three cats three minutes to catch three mice, how many cats would be required to catch one hundred mice in one hundred minutes.
2. There were four men in a boat on the lake. The boat turned over and all four men sank to the bottom of the lake, but not a single man got wet. Why?
As I said, they're fairly simple, but I don't know any difficult ones to test your brain with. Brightest Blessings, my friend.

That is cool that you first encountered riddles at school,and yeah if I knew I was going to get more than one response I would have not given the answers to mine so soon,and I would say that the answer to number one is one hundred cats,the answer to number two is the lake was empty of water so when the boat flipped over and all four men sank to the bottom they did not get wet but I am not so sure about that one,thanks for responding,have a great day,good luck in your life,and Happy Posting my friend.
