Riddle: What gets beaten, and whipped, but never cries?
Answer: Egg
Need a hint?
You’ll find it in the kitchen, and it’s used to make cakes and omelettes.
Answer and explanation (spoiler!)
The answer is an egg.
In cooking, we “beat” eggs with a fork and “whip” egg whites with a whisk to make them fluffy. The egg gets beaten and whipped every time, but of course it never cries.
The riddle borrows cooking words that also have a rougher meaning, which is what makes the answer a nice surprise.
Difficulty: Easy · Best for: ages 6 and up
