This is what happens when you give super glue to a monkey....

No... this is what happens when you give super glue to a monkey.

OH MY! I didn't know if I should laugh or feel sorry for you? I don't touch super glue 'cause I know, in my hands, it'll be a disaster waiting to happen. I do a lot of set building for my church during VBS season & have glued my hands together w/ plumbers foam. I've also burned my finger prints off from hot gluing..... The best one was when my car was rear-ended & I decided to see if I could lift the exhaust pipe w/ my bare hand(burnt the skin right off) & then had to work an 8 hour waitressing shift(I think I lost the last layers of skin to the sizzling hot plates).
Praying for fast healing & a new purse for you!

OMGoodness! What a riot!
I'm sad about your sore fingers, and I know your hubby is feeling pretty rotten about it.
But, WOW! What a story!
However did you type with a gimpy finger?

My daughter was 2 years old when she chewed on superglue, her lips were glued together and her face looked like a Special FX from a horror movie, I used Vaseline to unglue her lips and her teeth were all crystallized by the glue. After 3 hours in the emergency room the doctor said we didn't have to do anything because when the glue gets contact the saliva its crystallized and stayed on her mouth so the chance to get poisoned by the glue was minimum, and we didn't supposed to clean her teeth because we can damage to the enamel. It was totally cleaned in 2 days.
So let's keep superglue away from monkeys.

OMG, artyfacesbyluz, wow! Just wow! Poor baby. I'm glad it all worked out okay. :/

Oh wow! My son sprayed bug spray in his eyes when he was 7. Scared me to death. He was determined to kill a moth & when the spray didn't work, he turned it around & sprayed it in his eyes. So, don't give bug spray to a monkey either

Oh lord, I feel ya girl!
I have my own super glue nightmares, what is it about super glue that turns otherwise intelligent competent people into unnaturally (and unhappily) fused "monkeys"???
Not a few days ago my oldest broke his glasses, yep, glued my fingers to his glasses trying to fix them.

artyfacesbyluz - I cannot imagine what that ER visit must have been like! I have a very mischievous 3 year old daughter and I can totally see her doing that! So glad she was ok!

How I stuck my lips together

I have 2 brothers and 1 sister, My mother was at work came from a single parent family . needless to say after school was sometimes a little crazy.
My brother threw a ball in the house hit a vase smashed it. So gave it to me and my sister to fix we had 30 mins before mum was due home. we were working fast and hands were full with pieces of vase, We didn’t want to put tube of glue on the table. So I was holding it in my mouth teeth then – I sneezed.

It stuck to my teeth - not together sort of coated them and the right half of my lips together . Took ages to get off and took a little skin off. But the vase remained undetected for years until we were all adults. As she used it for artificial flowers only, and just thought the glaze was a little cracked.
When at Christmas dinner (2002) and we were all present my brother brought flowers she put them in that vase and filled it with water. Halfway though it just shattered and we all told her what happened, it was very funny by then.

Oh and I was born in the year of the monkey

ROFL! Thanks for the laugh, elantaura!

The little girl with crystallized glue around her mouth reminds me of my little guy, who at 2 years old had an unhealthy fascination with toothpaste. I used to have to hide the tubes because he would eat it.

He was cured of his addiction the day he tried to eat the Deep Heat.

"Hot! Mummy, mummy HOT!!!"

yep that is a true story About my lips, I read someone wanted to know about my brother so

How my brother stuck his fingers to his head

Again back to miss-spent tenage youth. a year on my two brothers were talking about superglue. One brother made the statement that it dosn't stick to your skin when your sweaty. the other was adement it did. needless to say one said prove it.
As he applied the superglue to his fingers two stuck together- undertered by this (as they werent sweaty he had) either his head or armpits to choose from as sweaty locations. he had hair under his arms (and ironically decided that would hurt) he opted with confidence for his forehead.
IT STUCK!!!

we all tried to help him but we were laughing so hard we just made him angry, he went to his room I don't know how he got it off, but the 10mins he was there were pricless.

Elantaura, those stories are hilarious! And I was born in the year of the monkey, too. Coincidence?
