I made Spaghetti for dinner the other night, and when I was boiling the Spaghetti, I noticed a tiny gnat in the boiling water. I actually noticed two gnats. I think there was some old fruit in the kitchen.

I thought about it for a while, but it was the last of the Spaghetti, and everyone was ready to eat. So I scooped the two gnats out, kept boing the Spaghetti, and when I was done, I thoroughly rinsed off the Spaghetti.

I served it to the family, and ate it as well, but didn't tell anyone about the gnats. I know my kids would have made a fuss about it but I am thinking it was in boiling hot water, them gnats weren't going to hurt anyone. What do you think?

Would you have done what I had done or thrown out the Spaghetti? If you kept the Spaghetti would you have told your family what happened at any time (before they ate or after)?

I am posting about this because I have no gauge whether this was extremely gross or just a little gross.
