While at the bookstore recently, the young daughter of a mental_floss fan offered to challenge me with a riddle that she had written herself. She made me promise I’d publish it if I couldn’t answer it, and she stumped me, so here it is. Thanks, Trish!
What is part tree and part pig?
HERE is the solution.

If it was part shrub and part pig it would be easy: Hedgehog.

Here’s a horrible joke my mom told me;
