Mexican Boy Glues Self to Bed to Avoid School

news.yahoo.com...

"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.

Whoa, what lengths we go to so that we don't go to school. I can sympathize, but I would still suck it up and go to school.

Man, why didn't i think about that? Seriously, I'm 26, and i still have nightmares about school!

there are much easier ways...

bet it was gorilla glue

What a dork! silly kid!

If it was MY kid and he was really stuck tight without any solvents or anything at hand, I guess I'd disassemble the bed and make him drag the part he'd glued himself to, to school.

Bet he wouldn't do that again.

What, having a temp of 130 isn't good enough anymore?

Meh... they probably use CFLs.

My dad ended up taking of the railings on our steps because I clung to them so tightly to avoid going to school. In my defense, five guys would gang up on my and then hang me out the window of the bus and try to slam me into a stop sign.

This kid should have just played the stomach ache game. That used to work for me!

I've tried that so much that it doesn't work anymore


I should try that if I get out of school and on the news

this kid sounds like a chump.
