The 5 Second Rule

I'm noticing that the "5 Second Rule" lengthens exponentially with each additional kid. I just walked past the laundry room and found The Boy eating Fruit Loops that he spilled in the floor in there yesterday. I asked, "They still crunchy?" He said, "Yeah." I said, "Cool" and kept on walking.....

Speaking of The Boy...will somebody please explain to me how it is that the same kid that will eat cereal off of the floor will have a COMPLETE FRIGGIN PANIC ATTACK if corn juice gets on his mashed pototoes?
