  1. Late getting on. The holidays are too busy. I immediately thought of milking a cow, because I recall them squatting for this chore. There was never a fancy little stool, as my aunts were young and agile. Also, they had to go out. It was long ago, but I believe the chickens usually laid eggs in their nest.
    Your riddle brought some great memories to mind. I am not good with them, but like them nonetheless. I seem to recall one about a man in a boat. He had a fox, a goose, and a sack of corn that he needed to get across the river. He could only carry himself and one other in a boat. So, how did he get them across the river? I am sure you and many others heard this growing up, and I loved it because it really made those young little minds think.

  2. Sounds like maybe a ground-running vine like maybe a squash or pumpkin. But if so I just don’t get the ‘squatted’ part.

  3. I’m terrible at riddles but somehow that made me think of a story I heard in grade school.
    The little boy was asked to make a sentence of defeat, deduct, defense, and detail. The little boy said, de feat of de duct went over de fense before de tail.
    The only riddle I could think of is one most people know. What is black and white and read all over?
