If You Glued Your Hand To Your Bed…
If you glued your hand to your bed to get out of going to school, what TV show would you watch?
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.”
Diego’s hand was fine, and paramedics managed to unstick him in time for class.

Uh, I’m not sure that showing that little slacker watching FOP is all that complimentary to the show. If I were that kid’s mom, I’d be tempted to block it for being a bad influence. LOL!

Well, that’s… really peculiar. I would not blame FOP though. Millions of kids watch that show and this is the first time I’ve heard soemthing this strange happen. Besides, I dont recall a FOP episode detailing any character gluing themselves to the bed (and even if it did, it’d show it as being a bad idea). Care to enlighten me, please? xD
Hahaha I’m from Monterrey. (unrelated)
Jetix shows FOP a lot of times a day (i’m actually watching FOP right now on JEtix), and it’s one of the most popular and loved cartoons in here. Besides, as a parent, you have to KNOW what your kid is watching, not blame the show. It may have some mischievousness in it, but in the end, the show always portrays the NEGATIVE consequences of such mishievous acts, so i wouldn’t really blame it on the show, not entirely anyway xD
Still, that kid… had a really… er, silly idea, to put it lightly. And I’m sure his mom will think twice about where to hide that glue. xD By the way, watching the TV from that position sure is painful, ouch.
