mudbogger Feb 21, 2008	cool and funny riddle and i agree with you tpq76 that kid needs help FAST!!
jsdodgers Feb 22, 2008	WAY too easy. It was too obvious.
(user deleted) Feb 23, 2008	Yea, i agree, a bit obvious
AshyPikachu Feb 24, 2008	easy, but it was funny!
unklemyke Feb 24, 2008	Are you kidding?? A girl's best friend is her DOLLY??? Run, don't walk to the nearest therapist - BOTH these kids need help!!
grobert_14 Feb 25, 2008	I thought it was the mistake that was made saying "His sister's best friend" and "Her sister's best friend", but this works too
dswilborn Mar 07, 2008	I guessed that it was a toy train set, then even a real human wouldn't be hurt at all. Like in the movie, "Night at the Museum" when the cowboy minatures tie up the night watchman...
aball911 Mar 13, 2008	unklemyke, you don't know how old that kid is ...little kids usually find best friends in inanimate objects until they're old enough to go to school and meet real people... anyway, great teaser!
luckypuppy May 16, 2008	a bit obvious, but fun anyways!
precious1026 Jan 01, 2009	Ha Ha, Great though.
Sock-Puppy_Plzr Mar 31, 2010	THAT GIRL IS SADDDD!!! Her best friend is a DOLL!! And the boy doesn't seem so sane, either.
Candi7 Feb 21, 2013	um ok then
spikethru4 Feb 21, 2013	Stop judging the hypothetical children! Anyway, I blame the parents. Hypothetically.
