On a side note, the original riddle for this is total garbage. You’re already supposed to be figuring out a riddle, and then you’re just supposed to know/assume/guess that the “morning” in the joke is a metaphor for a humans early life, etc.? What a terrible riddle.

Not to mention that arms and walking sticks aren’t legs! I mean, come on! The riddle should have gone: “What crawls on his hands and knees when he is a baby, walks on two legs when he is a grown man, and requires the assistance of one or more walking sticks when he is an old man?” Now, that is a proper riddle!
