get someone wet
Hi, everyone
I'd like to knwow if it would sound odd to use "get wet" in the following sentence:
For example:
Let's say my mother is doing the dishes and I stand by her side to run a spoon under the tap but some water ends up splashing on my mother(does it sound odd to say "splash on" here?) , could I say "Oh, did I get you wet?. I am sorry"... Does it sound odd ?
Thank you

Your example sounds like a bit of stand-up where the punchline is the double entendre.

Hello Gabriel,
'To splash water on' and 'get wet' are both perfectly acceptable.

. . splashing my mother [not 'on']; are you wet ? / did you get wet ?
