Can be seen in daytime, but missing at night
I'm there in the shadows, but not in sight.

Is it the letter 'a'?
 
Mom, Dad, and 2 kids have come to a river, and they find a boat. It is small and can only carry one adult or 2 kids at a time. Both kids are good rowers, but how can the whole family reach the other side of the river?
 
i think this may work but its a long answer:

child 1 and 2 row across first
child 1 rows back to mom and dad
mom rows across
child 2 rows back to dad and child 1
child 1 and 2 row across
child 1 rows back to dad
dad rows across
child 2 rows back to child 1
child 1 and 2 row across to mom and dad

a man lives on the 50th floor in NYC. In the morning, he gets up and takes the elevator from the 50th floor to the 1st and goes to work. When he comes home, he takes the elevator to the 35th floor and climbs the last 15 floors.

why?

I think I remember this one although it is a little obscure. The man is a little person (for the politically corect) and can only reach the elevator button to the 35th floor.
Although if he is that simple minded to not take something with him to push the higher button, I be curious to know how he got such a good paying job to afford an apartment in a NY skyrise apartment complex.
