Next, of course, we have your second riddle of the week! It’s a tricky one, so get those thinking caps on! Here it goes:
If you throw me out the window, I’ll leave a grieving wife. Bring me back, but through the door, you’ll see someone giving life. What am I?
Hmmm, is there even such a thing? We are absolutely stumped with this one, but maybe you guys can help us out and give us the answer. If you think you’ve got the correct answer to this cryptic riddle, head on over to our riddle masters thread here and submit it.

Remember playing in the rain and making mud pies? Back in the day, we would dig up mud from the ground and shape it into pies. We would then decorate them with whatever we could find in the garden and ‘bake’ them in the sun. We made quite a mess, but we had a great time! We never got bored as kids in the 1960s and 1970s because we made our own fun.
