I would say the rain, but I'm not so sure it fits the last statement (?)
YES!!! I was specifically going for "April Showers" but rain is close enough. The last line means that rain falls to earth and then evaporates back up into clouds.

YOUR TURN!!!

Great, let it rain! ☔

Ok, let me think on the next riddle. 🤔

@Alyssa @DATo @tjportugal

@Alphonsius

My dilemmas:
"Am I a creature or a sign of circulation?
Am I barcode or a prisoner uniform?"

What am I?

The only thought that come to mind are zebras and stripes.

🎉Hurray, @DATo!

I remembered Marty's dilemma (Madagascar) whether it is white with black stripes or black with white stripes. 😂

Your move.

I can't believe it. You mean I was actually right????!!!! Stripes?

OK, here goes ...

I have the power to let strangers into your home.
Sometimes these are welcome strangers and sometimes they are not.
You do however have the power to choose those who are allowed to enter and stay.
Unfortunately none of these strangers will ever listen to a thing you tell them.
Therefore you must use me to make those you do not approve of leave.

I was thinking of zebra, but I guess stripes works too.

Still thinking on your riddle...

It is something you have probably used every day.
HINT: There are many different manners in which someone can "enter" your home and not all of them are "physically".

YES .... A TV remote.

(A TV would have been acceptable as well)

@Wy_Bertram and @Alyssa helped me find the right answered as first I was thinking of a key too, but then the computer was a very close hint. If any of you would like to give it a try with the next riddle (?), that's fine with me.
