    Mexican boy glues self to bed to avoid school

    http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20080107/od_afp/mexicoschoolchildoffbeat

    MONTERREY, Mexico (AFP) - A 10-year-old Mexican boy glued his hand to his bed to avoid going back to school after the Christmas break, authorities said Monday.

    "I thought if I was glued to the bed, they couldn't make me go to school," the boy, Diego, told AFP. "I didn't want to go, the holidays were so much fun."

    "I remembered my mom had bought a very strong glue," he said of the industrial strength shoe glue he used to stick his hand to the bed's metal headboard, where he stayed stuck for two hours.

    His mother Sandra Palacios was unable to free him and called paramedics and police to help. Diego watched cartoons while they worked to unglue him, eventually using a spray to dissolve the chemical adhesive.

    "I don't know why this happened. He is a very good boy," said his mother.

    Diego eventually made it school a few hours late.

    I just pretend to be sick. If I had to glue myself to anything, it would be my foot to the floor under my computer desk, lol.

    The kid gets props for being creative, I guess...?

    Re: Mexican boy glues self to bed to avoid school

    I remember loving putting glue on my hands and then peeling it away. I also liked doing this to my lips.  :lol:

    I was a weird kid. I'd pretend to be sick, to stay home, my dad would always believe me, I'd stay home to watch "the reading rainbow" and then ride my bike to school, even though my dad would let me stay home.
    I'd get bored.  :lol:

    My mom loved when I didn't want to go to school because it meant she could sleep in and didn't have to drive me anywhere.
