It’s one of my family traditions when it comes to Christmas get-togethers. No matter what, my cousin will clamor to watch some of Bob Clark’s classic, “A Christmas Story.” He’s seen it a million times, he knows it’ll be on all night, and he’s got it on DVD, but he still suggests we turn it on every year. Speaking of things that happen every year, some kid gets his tongue stuck to a frozen metal pole. This year, it’s a 10-year-old from Boise, Idaho who reenacts the famous scene. Last year, it was a kid from Hammond, Indiana.
Fortunately, the most recent movie star wannabe is okay. His tongue is cold and a little bloody, but otherwise he was fine and was able to go on to school and finish the day out. Best of all? He got a new Red Ryder BB Gun and managed not to shoot his eye out!
