5 Second Rule

It was Sunday.

We were at church.

Meg had a plate full of donut holes.

This is how it is ... every Sunday.

One of the donut holes rolled off the plate and onto the carpeted floor

below. She promptly picked it up and put it back on her plate.

Me: Let me guess ... 5 second rule?

Megan: No, the 5 second rule is for when you drop something outside. If you drop something inside, you get 10 seconds.

Wow. I had no idea. 10 seconds? For real?!


At that rate, I might as well save some dish washing time and serve dinner directly onto the floor from now on.
