  2. I agree, John. My first thought (because of the previous article) was pumpkin. Then I looked at the title of the riddle.

  8. The Aww Shucks made me think of oysters, but I did figure out the answer after reading the hints.

  9. Even without the title I got it right away. Sometimes riddle answers just jump out at me.

  11. A hard boiled egg also works, but that’s because I don’t eat the yellow yolk.
