A chocolate covered donut hole I dropped ! Past three seconds and it belongs to Hunter. So it's usually faster than three seconds !

About 15 minutes ago, my 2 year old visitor dropped a bag of Dorito's and they spilled on my porch, so we sat down an ate them all. Whatever we missed, the dog from next door ate.

Opps. Seeing as I thought it was the 10 second rule, maybe those... Maybe those cheese cubes weren't a good idea to eat...

At my age I no longer follow the 3 second rule---it takes me longer than that to plan how to get back up after I bend down.

I usually throw away anything that touches the floor specially anything with wetness or sticky surfaces. But sometimes i don't mind picking out something if it be as quick as 3 seconds or less!

Few days ago it happened with piece of walnut.

Dear HappyTwo,

Here is the last time I TRIED...

Was in a movie theater with a friend...dropped one of my beloved chocolates on the floor. Reached down for it, and the friend who knew I was going to eat it, she began to fight with me over it...

Well being both younger and stronger than me, she prevailed, and (sob) the candy went into the trash...
