⚠️ The Riddle:

I make you dirty when I'm clean,
I make you clean when I'm dirty,

What am I?

 

🧩 Answer?

 SOAP!

 

💡 Explanation:

Soap has backwards logic:

• Makes you dirty when clean - When soap is fresh and clean, it creates suds and foam that make you look messy while washing.
• Makes you clean when dirty - After the soap gets dirty from washing you, you end up clean and fresh!

 

🌱 Real-Life Lesson?

Soap teaches us that sometimes we have to get messy to become clean. In life, growth often looks messy at first - learning new skills feels awkward, changing habits is uncomfortable, facing problems seems chaotic. But just like soap, the messiness is part of the cleaning process. Embrace the temporary mess because it leads to a better, cleaner version of yourself!
