What five-letter word is pronounced the same when the last four letters are removed?

Once upon a time, there was a young woman who lived with her husband and mother-in-law. She loved her new family dearly, but her mother-in-law was very critical, and the young woman feared to dissatisfy the older woman. Even worse, the new bride's love of salted pistachios had moved her to eat a small handful of them every day out of her mother-in-law's personal bag of them. The old woman had noticed the dwindling bag, and suspected her daughter-in-law, until the day the young woman found a pistachio shell behind a sleeping mat and said three words. What three words put the young woman beyond suspicion?

I know the answers to all of these, but I don't want to ruin it for everyone, so I'll just answer one of them. If no one guesses the others I'll answer them later--but a five-letter word that is pronounced the same when the last four letters are removed is the word "queue"

in the morning I walk with four legs
in the afternoon with two
in the evening I walk with three legs

This one is really hard.

It's a man (or woman). The morning is infancy, when you crawl on four limbs. The afternoon is adulthood when you walk on two legs and the evening is old age when you walk with a cane.

good job! I tried to frubal you but it wouldn't let me--it says I have to spread Karma around before I frubal you again which doesn't make sense to me since I've frubaled several people since I frubaled you last. I think that thing is way too sensitive.....anyway....

Have you heard this one before, or did you just figure it out?

[DeepShadow]

Yeah, how did you get it? Was that a guess, or were you certain?

Hmmm....need more riddles....
