Mexican Boy Glues Hand To Bed To Avoid School

A 10-year-old Mexican boy didn't want to go back to school after the Christmas break, so what did he do? He glued his hand to the bed.

"I thought if I was glued to the bed, they couldn't make me go to school," the boy, Diego told the local newscast. "I didn't want to go, the holidays were so much fun."

"I remembered my mom had bought a very strong glue," he said of the industrial strength shoe glue he used to stick his hand to the bed's metal headboard. The mom didn't hear him get up, but later awoke and found him watching TV with his hand stuck to the bed.

His mother Sandra Palacios was unable to free him and called paramedics and police to help. Diego watched cartoons while they worked to unglue him for two hours, eventually using a spray to dissolve the chemical adhesive.

"I don't know why this happened. He is a very good boy," said his mother.

Diego eventually made it school a few hours late.
