I was reading in bed to my kids one night when a bat swooped in on us. We all jumped out of bed and ran to a nearby screen-door to get out. We didn't know it, but the door was latched and we stood there for many seconds, struggling against the netting to get out. An animated version of this would have our bodies squish through the screen and come out the other side. When we finally liberated ourselves we ran to a neighboring house - my kids were completely naked but young enough not to care. If bats can laugh, this little guy probably had a good chuckle over that.

Since then I keep a short fishing net in the house to snag any flying friends. We have no electricity, so it will be a real challenge if I need to do it.
