View Full Version : Mexican 10 year old boy glues self to bed to avoid school Cactus Jack 01-07-2008, 11:13 PM http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20080107/od_afp/mexicoschoolchildoffbeat From the "Why didnt I think of that?" department dawsongirl 01-07-2008, 11:14 PM :lol: My exact thought when I saw this headline..."Well that's a new one." Ireneparalegal 01-07-2008, 11:18 PM :rofl: I thought this was a joke thread...after reading the Janice Johnson thread abt the tabloids, what else could I think? :lol: Corolla 01-07-2008, 11:18 PM Wow. :lol: catlover79 01-07-2008, 11:24 PM :rofl: :brent I should've tried that!! TripperFan 01-07-2008, 11:41 PM Now that is creative! The best I ever came up with was pulling a belt really tight around my waist so I could get a stomach ache and not be lying (got that one from my best friend when we were 8). ;) Now it sounds like a scene out of Andy Griffith. This kid is a scene from King of Queens!! I can see Dougie pulling that one but glueing himself to the refridgerator instead.

One of those old big "art" desks where they were steel and the shelf underneath was open on the opposite side. I sat with my chair tilted back and my feet shoved in the shelf during class. When the bell rang, I couldn't get my "Cougar Boots" out of there. My teacher sat there laughing at me and left the class for a good 5 minutes before he came back and got me out. (Don't get me wrong - he was a great guy - just knew I was class clown and was getting me back). ;) Ireneparalegal 01-07-2008, 11:51 PM I got my feet caught in one in grade 11 Marketing class.

You're a cross between Lucy, Laverne, with some Elaine Benis thrown in for good measure! Dean Winchester 01-08-2008, 02:27 AM whatever happened to the good ol' days of sticking your finger down your throat and vomiting so you could stay home? It never worked with my mom, but my dad fell for it at least twenty times (my parents worked odd schedules so one day it would be my dad fixing me breakfast and other days it would be my mom, because my mom was a nurse and worked several nights a week, so on nights when she worked, my dad would be allowed to go into work later so someone would be home hwen I got up). Gluing yourself to bed would sound so painful TripperFan 01-08-2008, 08:09 PM :lol: Too funny! You're a cross between Lucy, Laverne, with some Elaine Benis thrown in for good measure! Why thank you! Oddly, I find that a compliment! (but God help the guy......right?!!! ) :lol: TripperFan 01-08-2008, 08:12 PM This all reminds me Cathie, of the time at school that I was glued to a fence...by my tongue.....The first winter that I was in Kindergarten, some big kids dared me to lick the fence....the frozen steel fence with my wet tongue...needless to say, it took the crossing guard (and a few trickles of blood from my tongue) to get it off.....You might say I left a little part of myself with the school that day! :blush: Just like the scene in A Christmas Story! lol I saw a kid do that on the freezers in the supermarket once and they peeled his tongue off of it. No one even thought to pour hot water - they just ripped!! They made a movie about that ya know - I won't tell you the title! ;) :lol: Cactus Jack 01-08-2008, 08:16 PM Just like the scene in A Christmas Story! lol I saw a kid do that on the freezers in the supermarket once and they peeled his tongue off of it.
