Officials say when rescue crews
arrived Tuesday morning, the boy was standing on his tiptoes, trying to wriggle
his frozen tongue free from a stop sign pole across the street from Woodward
Middle School. Paramedics were able to help the boy by pouring water on his
tongue.
Once free, the boy told officials he got stuck after his brother dared
him to lick the pole. The boy was taken to a Woodward hospital for treatment.
The scene was similar to one in "A Christmas Story," a 1983 movie
adapted from Jean Shepard's memoir of a boy in the 1940s.
