The morning/afternoon/evening thing refers to the cycles of life. In the morning (childhood), you crawl on all fours as a baby. In the afternoon (adulthood), you stand on two legs. In the evening (old age), you walk on two legs with the aid of a cane.

Heh, I first heard this riddle when I was six. It was in my Greek mythology coloring book.
