I Triple Dog Dare Ya!

Ooh, that's gotta hurt!
I’m sorry, but this story is pretty damned funny!
HAMMOND, Ind. – In a scene straight out of the movie “A Christmas Story,” a 10-year-old boy got his tongue stuck to a metal light pole. Police said the unidentified fourth-grader was able to tell them that a friend dared him to lick the pole Wednesday night. Temperatures in Hammond were around 10 degrees at the time.
By the time an ambulance arrived, the boy was able to yank his tongue off the frozen pole.
Police said ambulance personnel explained to the boy’s mother how to care for his bleeding tongue. (LINK)
“Schwartz created a slight breach of etiquette by skipping the triple dare and going right for the throat!”
Tee hee hee!

Those of you who made him do this know who you are. And I’m sure the guilt you’re feeling is far worse than any punishment I could give you.

We did that to my younger sister many years ago. We thought it was hilarious at the time
Of course, my mother did not think it was so funny.

I did something similar once and attached my tongue to a metal ice tray (remember those?).
Well, at least I didn’t put metal objects into light sockets.
It is funny, but that poor kid is hurting. Heh.

A 10-year old male…doing something stupid…
It’s called growing up. We all did it at one time or another. Some with more humorous results than others.
I remember one classmate coming to school without eyebrows and a 2nd degree burn all over his face. Yep, fireworks were involved.
Then there was the one who wanted to race his home made soapbox cart down the hill. Yep, no breaks…except for his arm after the crash.
Even the girls were not immune to stupid stuff. One lovely wanted a nice tan for the upcoming dance and got herself a tanning lamp. Fell asleep the first (AND LAST!) time she used it. Her redness may have covered far more than we could see. She sure looked uncomfortable sitting in class despite the very loose dress she wore.

There always seems to be one kid out there that will do this.

I just noticed the last line of the article.
“The 1983 movie is set in a fictional city based on Hammond, the hometown of author Jean Shepherd.”
That is pure gold!

RT – Yeah, he’s probably not talking much, either.
Joated – My son is two years away from “10-year old doing stupid things.” Can’t wait.
