The old pretend to turn your vertical splat into a learning opportunity for the kids ploy. Smart! 😋
That would have been a funny splat, I wish I was there to see it.
The second scenario doesn't count as a vertical splat because there was no splat...I would have liked that story better if you splatted yourself on the wall or, better still, some poor unsuspecting little kid who also went splat!
Thanks for being a good sport (and splatter) and playing along with the fun nature of this post.
