Kids, what will you do with them?



MEXICO CITY - 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."

Diego's hand was fine, and paramedics managed to unstick him in time for class.

I think I would have cut that part of the bed off and let him carry it around until it fell off on its own.

the wife and i agreed to the following (if jack's stupid enough to try it!)


remove tv, phone, stereo, etc.

remove any rugs from the room

close the door as we leave him

not change the sheets after he pees

wait a few days for his skin to do its thing and allow the glue to be released

we will provide food and water after 8 hrs
