The situation & the dilemma

The situation: boy tries to get cheerios out himself and drops the box.
The dilemma: what should I do with an entire box of cheerios on the floor?


The solution: I decide to go for a three-prong solution to the problem.
Prong 1: Pick up cheerios that are sort of "on the top" and therefore not too dirty. Put these away for humans to eat later.


Prong 2: Bring "vacuum cleaner that doesn't need a bag" in and let him eat a bunch of cheerios. While he is eating, sweep at the same time so that he doesn't eat so much that bad gas results.


Prong 3: Take swept up cheerios outsie and scatter them (for the birds.)


I'm pretty happy with the result. Nothing was actually wasted. And birds and dog became my best friends ... again.
