(01-08) 13:47 PST MEXICO CITY, Mexico (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.

And we all just tried the old "I'm not feeling good" routine.

Gorilla glue perhaps?

That beats my brother heating up the old thermometer to 109.

Once cured, it is waterproof and can be sanded, scraped, or planed.

YOUCH!

So how did your mastermind brother get the thermometer hot?
