A bookkeeper once noticed that there are several words in the English language that have consecutive double letters. He then wondered if there was a word in the English language that had three consecutive double letters. There is. What is it?

Wow... I can't believe I noticed it... I'm usually dumb when it comes to these things... the answer is: bookkeeper.

Cool! Tried to pass a sneaky one by there didn't you?
You are in a cold house in the winter. It is dark. You have one match. There is a candle and there is a wood burning stove. Which do you light first?

I am just as bad, Joxie.
But here's one...
I am a Christmas decoration that inspires affection. My first four letters denote tiny droplets of rain and my last three letters are a body part. I am three syllables. (9 letters). What am I?

Too funny. The answer to my riddle is in there somewhere.

Idaho, Alaska when I see her.
(I don't know, I'll ask her when I see her.)
