Do you love to do art? Matty loves art and especially using glue when creating art. Him and his dad make lots of glue projects at home. However, Matty has too much fun at school and gets into a bit of a tangled mess with too much glue. His teacher warns him that too much glue never dries and he gets stuck to the desk. No one is able to get him unstuck until his dad comes to school. Instead of being mad at Matty, he celebrates his son's creativity.
