The Riddle Solution

The Joke: Q: What did the teenage yardstick say to its parents? A: "I feel like I have three feet!"

Explanation: A yardstick is a measuring tool that is exactly 3 feet long. Teenagers often complain to their parents about growing pains or feeling "weird," so the pun plays on the literal length of the stick (3 feet) versus the idiom of having "three feet" (which is normal for the yardstick, but impossible for a human).

A yardstick is 36 inches long. A "teenage" yardstick would be in its awkward, growing phase—so it’s likely not yet full length. Here is the content and answer key for the worksheet

Most probable answer (based on common yardstick/age puns):

"I’m not fully grown yet — I’m only 3 feet!"
(But that’s weak as a pun.)

A stronger, more circulated version from actual teacher forums:

"Stop measuring me! I’m going through a phase." Part 5: How to Find the Actual Worksheet

But the most famous answer (found in riddle databases) is:

"I wish you’d stop trying to rule my life."

Why? Because a yardstick is a ruler. The pun plays on “ruler” as a measuring tool and “rule” as in controlling someone’s behavior. A teenager complaining about parents trying to “rule” their life says, “Stop trying to rule my life” — but the yardstick says it to its parents (also rulers/yardsticks).

Thus, the answer key for that line would be: Search without “Rarl” → “What did the teenage

"I wish you’d stop trying to rule my life."
