5 second rule

5 SECOND RULE

we all have probably heard of the 5 second rule

now

if you just have 1 kid 

you probably dont practice the 5 second rule

yet

but

most folks by the time that 2nd or 3rd kid comes around

well some move that out to a 10 second rule

so 

what germs are you really worried about

you know there are good germs

heck

i read where farm kids are healthier and have 

less asthma and allergy than city kids

why

they get exposed to a lot of germs

how else are city kids going to get exposed to 

those germs

the ones to really worry about

are the ones that you see on tv

when there are the outbreaks from 

meat contamination

packaged food contamination 

even salad mixes

these are the well known ones

e coli

salmonella

listeria

some viurses

parasites

just ask chipotle about these guys

my theory is that you are more likely to get sick

from eating at a restaurant 

buying meat

buying processed food

buying contaminated veggie

than

following the 5 second rule

now 

i sit here looking at my kitchen floor

i think

how long will i let the food sit there before i pick it up

and eat it

now i vacuumed the floor yesterday

dust mopped the floor

wet mopped it

so its as clean as its going to get

so

i dropped a chip on the floor

set the timer

at 5 seconds 

i popped it in my mouth

didnt bother me at all

so

i dropped another on the floor

set the timer

by 10 seconds 

i was having second thoughts

but

i popped it in my mouth

didnt bother me at all

so at what time frame would you give up

now i guess if you have a dog 

you just leave it there 

since they dont really care

i always wondered how come they can violate

the 5 second rule

and

never get sick

heck just thing of the places they put their mouth on

it dont hurt them none it seems

so after this short experiment 

i would say

10 second could be my new rule

oh wait

is that a brownie in the corner over there

so

i looked around

my wife she aint up yet

i reached down

and

savored every minute of its flavor

yes

i admit im a  rule breaker
