Should he happen upon Gollum in the dark…

November 27, 2006 by Minnesota Mom Filed Under: Family Fun, Minnesota Me 5 Comments

…my son will be ready! (Er, at least I hope he’d be.)

Inspired by the riddle-guessing scene in The Hobbit, John Michael has begun creating his own.

Here’s the first one:

I am big and often square;
Sometimes broken things I bear.
People come to eat and play;
What am I?

The answer’s in my comment box!

    Very fun and creative! I was too impatient to figure it out (and would be utterly terrified if I happened upon Gollum in the dark!), but I’ll see if my girls can guess it tomorrow.
    Give our thanks to John Michael!

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. ♥
