I apologise for this...

Jane, your riddle.

A pink hairless tethered-to-keep-from-escaping, frightened-for-its-life-cousin-to-a-blowfish (because of the spikes :)

[The spikes belong to the blowfish, btw; not the pink hairless thing.]

(I think I'm going nuts)

Wow! Thanks! I feel so special :)

My first thought was a shaved dog. but that doesn't explain the spikes. So then I thought of a porcupine. But they arn't pink. So I will have to keep on thinking about it.

??????How is a hot dog tethered, and have spikes????!!!!

Oh man..and all last night I thought that the pink hairless thing and the cousin to a blowfish were the same thing!


The answer I believe is a tongue :)

Booker said...

I stand by my answer of "hotdog"...

ok. I am really confused now. Is it two separate things? or just one?

Laughter said...

It's one thing; the blowfish is the thing's "cousin".

Is it....the inside of your mouth?

But if it's a cousin to the blowfish because of the spikes, then how come it doesn't have spikes? Ohhhh!

It's frightened because of the spikes! And it's cousin to the blowfish for another reason. Ahhhh!

I agree with Joshua, but I would never have gotten it on my own. Very clever, sis!

It is neither tongue nor the inside of the mouth.

apparently it's not a tongue..

But I just thought about it and I know what it is!!

It's a worm on a fishhook!!

:D

Is it a shrimp on a hook, or tied to a piece of string, for the blowfish to eat?

Laughter said...

Sorry, not even remotely close.

Hints are available for a reasonable fee. :-Þ

is/was it alive?

Laughter said...

Aha! Now we are getting somewhere.

No, it is not alive. And it never was alive, either.
