The only way to avoid it is to say that "no" isn't the answer to the riddle, it's just the answer to the last question, and then all those kindergarten students couldn't find the answer to the riddle either, just the answer to the last question... pfff...
I think the correct answer to the riddle is: "something"....yep, something makes me have to pee, and something pops when I squeeze it, and something makes polar bears white... however I'm using a different something in every sentence.

No, the riddle isn't trying to find something that fits all those criteria, because it doesn't ask you to find something that fits all the criteria. If it did, it would ask "What am I?" Instead, it asks "can you guess the riddle," and that's the only question it asks. The riddle has nothing to do with the previous statements, only the last question, to which the answer is simply "no."
There's no paradox involved.
