Boy Glues Hand to Bed to Avoid School


MEXICO CITY (AP) — A 10-year-old Mexican boy dreaded returning to school after Christmas break so much that he glued his hand to his bed. Sandra Palacios spent nearly two hours Monday morning trying to free her son Diego's hand with water, oil and nail polish remover before calling authorities, police chief Jorge Camacho told The Associated Press from outside the northern city of Monterrey.

"I didn't want to go to school because vacation was so much fun," Reforma newspaper quoted the boy as saying.

Palacios said Diego sneaked into the kitchen in the early morning to get the industrial glue, which he then slathered on his right hand. She didn't hear him get up, but later awoke and found him watching TV with his hand stuck to the bed, she told Mexican newspaper El Universal.

"I don't know why he did it," she told Reforma. "He's a good boy, but mischievous like all kids."

11. Just get a Sawz-All

Cut out the part of the headboard he's glued to and send him to school with that chuck of wood on his hand. It would be a great time to learn to write left-landed.

"But Mommy, I can't get my pajamas off with this board on my hand." "I know, that's why you're going to school in your pajamas, dear."

Problem solved! Let the kids at school making fun of him for having a board glued to his hand be the punishment. He'll never live that down!
