Now this was a fine teaser. Well done
Cool!
Thank you so much!!!
Great job. I enjoyed very much!
What a great job and all without the word Father. More please.
Fun teaser. Keep up the good work!
lol, didn't think to use the word Father. Prefer the three hand hint, actually!
i thought it was clock i guess you can consider that close.
Now that I voted we can start to take over the world
lol, heck yes!
i really liked this one
I had this one figured out in the first line. Great job!
Very clever!
First line definitly gave it away.
The first line gave me the idea of clock. The last paragraph gave me the idea of time.
Nice one.
Nice one.
Nice riddle. I had to read it several times before it hit me. Enjoyed it, thanks for posting.
Good one. Like some others, I thought of clock with the first line, then as I went through the rest of them, I realized it was time.
Thanks! Fun.
Thanks! Fun.

I just wanted to point out the face that technically, while a clock has no "eyes", a clock with Roman Numerals has "I's".

sorry i meant fact... not face
I had to look at the hint to get the answer. The children line gave me trouble. Then the dawn broke. Very nice teaser.
Why not say "Rhymes with block"? Way too easy.
Cake. Totally did not need the last line.
I love the start, but the last line made it too easy. A different last line, even one that gave no help (i.e. "Now solve my teaser" or some such) and it would have gotten top marks.
I liked this one! I'm one of those people who always wishes there were more time! Hoping my friends K & T have a wonderful time - always!
Great teaser, if a bit easy. But sometimes easy is good. I thought clock at first with the 3 hands, from there it was a natural leap to time. Lots of fun and well written.
AWOR Very easy and it's TIME to put this one away forever. Hope my special friends have a great weekend. It's snowing here,and I hate winter already.
Well, I'm glad it repeated, b/c I didn't see it before!
I didn't get it the first couple of readings, but the hint did give it to me, so I'm happy.
What I'm not happy about is our weather!! If you are having a beautiful day, plz enjoy it!!!

A repeat , but I got it easily this time. Snowing here too Doehead. Hope it lets up soon, I hate snow. Hi to G & K.
Children become geezers gave it away for me. At first I said clock because of the 3 hands and then the geezer thing gave it to me.
Nice one.
Nice one.
This Is Great Really Good
Like others, I got clock from the first line and the last line gave away the proper answer.
Slow day for me. I needed the hint.
Also started with clock-time makes more sense
The hint was no help for me. I went back and slowly read the lines......bangs head on desk......it was right in the first line..... TIME!!
Great teaser!!
Great teaser!!
Good teaser Thanks for posting!
This was a good riddle. I also thought clock at first because of the 3 hands. The last line turned into time as the answer.
This was a fun, enjoyable, easy and entertaining teaser; I got it right away.
I thought it was birthdays! But that wouldn't explain the first line - I guess I read through it too quickly!
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser; I got it just as quickly as the first time I tried this one three years ago.
