that’s what I do when I’m thirsty. Screw the garden hose.
I get the feeling there’s more to this story.
Who is supposed to be watching this boy? One expects a thirsty animal to invade an attic occasionally, but not a child. I hope he’ll wind up with some capable supervision.
The article never explained why the boy felt he had to try to get into a neighbor’s house for a drink.
Something struck me as odd about this story.
I never considered breaking into anyone else’s house for a drink of water as a child.
“I get the feeling there’s more to this story”.
So do I. What child would climb down a chimney for a drink rather than go home? Something stinks here..
If I got caught doing something like that, I’d have more worries than still being thirsty - I’d still have to face Dad!
Was his last name Claus?
maybe he was seeing a mirage and thought it was a great big drinking straw.
LOL!! If it is then he needs a lot more practice before December!
They don’t have outdoor spigots in Utah?
Knocking on the door and asking “May I have a drink of water?” would have been much easier.
Like most everyone else on this thread, I too think there must be more to this story...
Makes me wonder if he was told to slide down the chimney, get a drink and oh, by the way, don’t bother to lock the door when you leave.
The same thing happened to me once!
That story just doesn’t ahh... hold water.
“The same thing happened to me once”
Either place a /sarc tag or give us more details! You can’t just say that it happened to you without DETAILS.
Weird. Why couldn’t he go home for a drink? Or knock on a neighbor’s door to get a drink?
My Siamese cat did this to my neighbor in Houston. He would jump down the chimney and sit on a ledge and yowl. Finally he would free himself by jumping rest of the way down the chimney and walking across the white carpet, leaving sooty foot prints. My neighbor was not amused.
A rediculous story that gives me claustrophobic nightmares. I would literally die from panicking.
