My mother overheard this conversation between the niecelings....

Ana: *bending down to pick up some dropped food*
Evangeline: NO! You have to say "five second rule"!
Ana: Five second rule!
Evangeline: Okay, now you can eat it.

Apparently, Evangeline (and Ana, I guess) think of the phrase "five second rule" as a magical charm that keeps food safe. That was... unanticipated.

Yup, pretty much. Better to be a person who eats off of the floor than a person who doesn't even seem to be aware that there's something weird about eating off of the floor.
