Child Gives In To Temptation, Gets Tongue Stuck To Pole

POSTED: 12:44 pm EST January 18, 2005

WYTHEVILLE, Va. -- It looked like a scene out the movie "A Christmas Story."

A 9-year-old boy in Virginia gave in to an age-old temptation while waiting for the school bus on a very cold day. He touched a metal pole with his tongue. His tongue stuck to the post.

The Roanoke Times reported that a local police officer talked to the boy at the scene while his dad got some warm water.

According to the newspaper, the conversation went like this:

"Are you OK?"
"Uh-uh."
"Have you learned anything?"
"Uh-huh."
"Are you going to do this again?"
"Uh-uh."

The boy's dad applied the water, and the boy's tongue was freed from the post, apparently unharmed.

My folks, sister and I stayed overnight at a hotel one time in Wytheville! :)

It's a picturesque community for sure there in the mountains! :D

Glad that kid is okay! :D

My nine and 3/4 son recently (this Christmas) explained the triple-dog-dare to me. As a girl (and mom) I still don't understand WHY you cannot turn down a triple-dog-dare, but my son assures me that that is just NOT done.

If you are triple-dog-dared, you HAVE to take it. :eek:
