Mexican Boy Glues Himself to Bed to Avoid School by mpress

Got to admit the kid has spunk. Good thing his hand was the only appendage he glued to the bed.

A 10-year-old boy thought he had discovered a novel way of getting off school — glueing his hand to the bed.

Diego Palacios had so much fun over the Christmas holiday he was in no rush to get back to lessons.

He had to be freed by emergency services in Monterrey, northern Mexico, after his master plan went wrong.

His mother, Sandra, spent nearly two hours trying to free his right hand with water, oil and nail polish remover, but to no avail.

“I didn’t want to go to school because vacation was so much fun,” the youngster explained.

He told how he sneaked into the kitchen in the early hours and then covered his hand with industrial-strength adhesive.

His mother woke up to find him watching TV with his hand stuck to the bed.

“I don’t know why he did it,” she said. “He’s a good boy but mischievous — like all kids.”

His hand was freed by paramedics — just in time for school. Fox
