Thread: Boy glues hand to bed to avoid school

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.

The things you do to miss school haha

I made fake puke one time when I was 8.. Got me out of school!

Hey I don't blame him. I might actually think about doing this tomorrow.


V4L how did you make fake puke?..Im doing it..lol

I believe I mixed up some milk and cereal and a couple other things that I ate the night before and just tossed it on the floor

Im wondering how I didn't get caught doing that ha

I just got told about this a couple weeks ago.. I didn't even remember it

I would just go with the Ferris Bueler way

I wish I had been more inventive, unfortunately I was just stupid and guillable.
A friend told me that if I went to sleep with a bar of soap in my armpit, I would have flu like symtoms the next day and be able to stay home.
What he didn't tell me is that I REALLY was sick FOR FOUR DAYS!!!! Puking, direaha, sweating and chills, everything I put in my mouth tasted like soap.
My Mom took care of me and kept checking every day to see if I was feeling better.
It seems when I was the sickest I confessed what I had done and good loving mother she nursed me back to health so she could beat the crap out of me for being so stupid.
Learned my lesson!!!!
