Crumbs

 

She looked at the table, irritated.

There were crumbs on the clean tablecloth.

Luckily, it wasn’t stained or greasy, just the area of pale crumbs, like from sugar cookies.

Brushing them off the table, she sat down to her morning coffee and yogurt, glancing through the news on her phone while absentmindedly petting the dog.

When she was done, she took her spoon and cup to the sink, and tossed her yogurt container into the trash.

Later, she tried to think of the last time anyone ate something crumbly at the table.

Definitely not since she’d last washed it. Huh.
