Boy glues himself to bed to avoid school (Associated Press, January 8, 2008)

A 10-year-old Mexican boy was so determined not to return to school after the Christmas holiday that he glued his hand to his bed.

Sandra Palacios spent nearly two hours on Monday morning trying to free her son Diego's hand with water, oil and nail polish remover before calling the authorities in the northern city of Monterrey, said police chief Jorge Camacho.

"I didn't want to go to school because vacation was so much fun," Reforma newspaper quoted the boy as saying.

One of the saddest days of the Brothers' lives was when our local school's teacher strike ended and we had to go back to the salt mines.
