I found these pieces of cereal on the floor.
After I found this face, looking at me going “What? 5 minute rule MOM, haven’t YOU heard of it?”
And with that, I’d like to say thank you to the elder children for passing on their food wisdom.
The 5 Minute Rule?

I just wanted to state that our floor is used as a food storage solution at all times. . . and my baby is seven years old. Oh well, some habits are hard to break. Love the look, my husband gives me that one all the time!
Best. Face. Ever.
Look at that adorable face!! I’d be happy if my little one would abide by the five minute rule, not the five day rule (although I guess if it’s been there 5 days that’s my fault!).
Phbbbbbt!!!!! ROTFL at that adorable little face
How sweet!
My kids have been known to eat things that have been on the floor for 5 hours. Maybe even 5 days.
Blaze has eatent hings off the floor that I had no idea how long they had been there. So cute though in that picture. i can hear Forgettaboutit.
The other day my granddaughter found some Cheerios by the sofa. That might have been the 5 day rule….
At least you don’t have a child asking every time he drops just the slightest bit of food, “is the floor clean.” Dude, it’s an M&M; if you don’t eat it, I will.
Well, it is a rule.
In our house it is a 1 minute rule…I really need to clean more often!

We’ve always employed that same rule around here. So far, we’re all still alive and kicking:)
That is so adorable! I love it! The 5 minute rule is most definitely alive and well in my house too!
I’m with commentor 2. Best. Face. EVER!! That’s like photo contest material, seriously. Ah, yes…the 5 minute rule. I think it’s supposed to be the 5 SECOND rule, but my son has made it the 5 MONTH rule once or twice I think. It’s amazing to me that they can find some nugget of food that’s been hiding away for eons, and just shove it in their mouth. EW!
Oh, forgot to say I’m stopping by from SITS.
Great face… we try to have a 5 minute rule, but my son found half a granola bar in his toy truck today that had been buried in the toy box… from ???? he’s still kicking so i’m just figuring its a fact of life..
Hi from SITS
Precious face!
A friend of mine found an article that said the 10 second rule is actually kinda legit. I’m going to google that. I mean if it’s on the floor, what’s the difference between 10 seconds and 5 minutes really?
