the cool days of lincoln school

back in the days when recess was still in session, my elementary school friends and i would run rampid across the playground. One cold day in fourth grade, one of my friends, jenna guenther, decided that it would be funny to stick her tongue to a pole. the results were distaterous. What started out as an innocent joke turned terribly painful in a matter of seconds. Jenna ended up with the entire surface of her tongue adhered to the flag pole. All of the bystanders began to laugh at her because it was a very hilarious situation. You just dont see someone with their tongue stuck to a pole every day. Jenna started out laughing because she had quite the audience watching her and she had acheieved her goal. After a little while Jenna began to worry since her tongue would not budge. The recess teacher noticed the group of kids and came over to us. When she saw Jenna almost in tears with her tongue stuck to the pole, she began to flip out. Once she assessed the situation, a member of the group was sent to get a bowl of hot water. after about five minutes of water pouring and tugging, Jennas tongue was removed. Unfortunately for Jenna a large chunk of the outer layer of her tongue was left stuck to the frozen pole. I have good reason to believe that Jenna will keep her tongue unattached to frozen metal objects for the rest of her life.
