Boise firefighters used a glass of warm water to free the unidentified boy from the metal fence pole.
Fire Capt. Bill Tinsley says the boy's tongue was bleeding a little, but he was OK and allowed to continue walking to school.
The photo shows Flick putting his tongue on a frozen flagpole as Ralphie Parker watches in the movie A Christmas Story. Flick just had to do it - after all, he was triple-dog dared.
The incident brought back a poignant childhood memory of a winter day when I was in the first grade.
I tried to lick frost from the metal steering bar of a sled while playing in a farmyard near Hurley, South Dakota.
