Dropping food on the flour is a great scientific experiment, dog or no dog. With no dog it's more of a learning experience as to how much your mother will tolerate picking it up. My daughter sent me a hilarious video of her twins: One was in a high chair. The other was on the floor just below, eating the stuff that was dropped.
I have to say, these stories about our younger selves hiding unwanted food behind the fridge or in a drawer or behind the radiator are more sad that funny when you think about it. That any kid feels they should have to resort to such measures must make for a lot of anxiety.
