To me, there is no 5 second rule... if it falls on the floor, it gets thrown away! My husband on the other hand thinks the 5 second rule can be stretched to 10 minutes or however fast the dog can get to it! I'm trying to teach my children that MY way is the right way!

EXCEPT when we're eating peas. They'll leave those on the floor forever. They have no desire to eat them in the first place. Sometimes I wonder if some hit the floor intentionally. :) My kids love to test out the 5 second rule. EXCEPT when we're eating peas. They'll leave those on the floor forever.

When something falls, I tend to do an instantaneous assessment of the various factors. Just when was the last time I mopped the kitchen floor? How badly do I really want that cookie (piece of chocolate, delectable treat)...? It's kind of a judgment call for me.

Since we live in the sticks and seem to frequently be giving free rent tolittle grey critters (albeit, only until we find them) we count off limits any area in the kitchen that the mouse might use as his path (i.e. under the cabinet, around the panty, etc.) Gross, huh??
