Boys will be boys, or so I’m told

With Christmas only a few weeks ago, one of my favorite movies played 24 hours straight on Christmas Day. It’s ‘A Christmas Story’. I think it’s a lot of peoples favorite movie. Well guess what I just read? It seems that a 4th grade boy stuck his tongue on a medal light pole to see if it would get stuck. Well guess what else, it did!!
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.
The 1983 movie is set in a fictional city based on Hammond, the hometown of author Jean Shepherd.
I think the funniest part of this story is that the story is based on Hammond, Indiana and that’s where the boy did this. Well I bet even if someone ‘triple-dog dares’ him to do it again, he won’t do it.
