This is the first in a series of posts exploring the "meta" riddle: Why did the chicken cross the road?

Let's get started with just a few of the many answers to this traditional form of the riddle. Which ones do you like best, and why? Looking at these answers is a way for you to think about the forms of riddling that you like best... because this is definitely a riddle with many different answers! (July 1: I just added two more!)
  • To get to the other side.
  • The grass was greener on the other side.
  • Because she was a free range chicken
  • Because the light was green.
  • Because the road was too long to walk around it.
  • Beak-cause she could.
  • To BOCK traffic. Bock! Bock!
  • Because she thought it was an EGG-cellent idea.
  • Because she saw what you did with her eggs.
  • Because she wanted to understand what all the jokes were about.
