Ok. Anyone know the answer to this riddle? Can't find on google.

Anyone any ideas? From a friend who can be a wind up merchant!

I am sad with sound but sweet on the nose, can take you places, and have multiple babies.

Donkey

Not Donkey.

I suggested Scream - like the painting of the scream is sad and you hear it, and you scream on a rollercoaster and it takes you places. I just ignored the babies bit. But, nope not that either.

It's got nothing to do with Boswell Grin He doesn't know what mumsnet is so you're all safe.

None of the answers so far. We're on WhatsApp in a group and I'm using you all as ammunition!

Is the answer simply the letter s? Multiple being the big clue

Putitdownnow · 17/02/2019 01:16

@Singletomingle

He says it's one word that applies equally to all parts of the riddle

Maternity ward

Snort? Can be a sad sound. Some would say coke is sweet on the nose.
Snort in IT could take you places and multiply ports?

(What's Boswell? - apart from the guy who wrote Johnson's biography, or the department store.)

MildlyMiserable · 17/02/2019 01:19

Oops - two words

KickAssAngel · 17/02/2019 01:19

Whine/wine - a sad sound, wine smells good, can 'take you places' - out of your head, and there must be many children conceived after a drink or two.

A bit tenuous but just about fits.

Putitdownnow · 17/02/2019 01:20

@finnmcool

That's brilliant, copied your explanation but he says no.

OP posts:
Putitdownnow · 17/02/2019 01:21

Not wine.

He's going to bed in 10 minutes and will tell me then if I don't get it.

Stork?

JaneJeffer · 17/02/2019 01:23

Jux trust me you don't want to know Grin

The wind, can sound sad, can be a scented breeze, can blow ships across the sea, and can have gusts and flurries as babies.
