Floor food

Once upon a time, there was a toddler in a high chair. This toddler was a genius, for he invented the concept of Floor Food! He threw his peas and mashed potatoes onto the floor. Later on, while crawling under the table, he came upon one of these peas with a gob of potatoes on it, and called it delicious.
