Push me down, And I'll jump back,
I'm the first one of the quartet.
I have three children of my own,
After them, I'm departed.
You might go higher after all,
if I'm under your feet.
In few weeks, again, it's fall,
After first, we meet.

What am I?

A winner is you.
But you could've used spoiler tags you know :(


Have you got any riddles? :3

Hm.........I'll have to think of one. (Sorry I didn't use the tag).  :P

EDIT: Here's one:

A man was found murdered one Sunday morning.

His wife immediately called the police.

The police questioned the wife and staff and was given these alibis:
The Wife said she was in bed reading a book.
The Cook claimed she cooking breakfast.
The Gardener claimed he was planting seeds.
The Maid claimed she was getting the mail.
The Butler claimed he polishing the silver.

The police instantly arrested the murdered. Who did it and how did they know?

(This topic rules, btw)

It could be the maid, since mail doesn't come in on sunday in most places.

Do I win?
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

Well, he was found Sunday morning, which leaves a possibility that he could've been killed Saturday night.
But that makes no sense and is quite unlikely. Great job!

No, I've got it:  The husband ate the mail, and that's what made the maid kill him--to take the mail back.
Today's actually... nobody's birthday!  Quick, hurry up and make a baby!

A winner is you! Good job Sushie!

BTW Sam, the riddle says that he was found murdered on Sunday. I guess I should have said that the riddle rules out any other date. Sorry. X(

So I guess it's SB's turn.

Yeah, it's ok.
Here's another:

What does a poor man have that the richest man wants?
What does a brave man fear that a coward confrontates with ease?
Hint: If you eat or drink it, you die.

The answer's nothing. I've heard a variation of that riddle before:

What is greater than God,
More evil than the devil,
The poor have it,
The rich need it,
and if you eat it you die?

I told it to my sister once and her first (jokingly) guess was "disease".

Guys, It was my turn >:(

As you look into me, you see a reflection.
I'm alot of peoples best friend.
Not alot of people have me.
My man made form is almost as good as me.

What am I?

There really aren't "turns" here, but I agree, I was a bit rude going and making up a new riddle.

And I can't figure that one out either :(

Something greater than God? Gee, I dunno................
