answer:Haha. Yesterday my cat hopped up on the table and started licking the plate of olives before all of our guests arrived. A friend suggested that I rinse them off, but, I had to throw them away. I couldn’t even bring myself to consider the possibility of serving them after that. Then I was out of olives, too, which only made me more angry at my cat for being so naughty. I’m sure most people will disagree with me, but I think your situation is just funny. I think even if I had been one of the people consuming the squash and found out later, it would still be funny to me. I mean, it seems harmless enough. A little ick, definitely, but harmless.
