Aww...
He sounds like such a nice kid.
Learned his lesson, and want to help others avoid the pain:
......
The Brown family men have a tradition of running around the garden barefoot during halftime of the game. This year, D.J.'s dad, David Brown, declared it too cold for such silliness. But D.J., who said he's a straight-A student at Buffalo High School, wasn't persuaded. He ran outside in his t-shirt and jeans, threw off socks and shoes, and ran around the block.
...
D.J. said he was only outside for five minutes. But when he got home, his feet started swelling and blistering. "I consider myself having a high pain threshold, and this was just so 10 out of 10," he said. "I was, like, chewing on a towel."
He was treated for second-degree frostbite on both feet at the burn center at Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis.
"Cold weather is just as dangerous as pouring scalding water on your feet," said Dr. Leslie Smith, a burn specialist. She said the damage was so severe that D.J. is on crutches and pain medication. "He should be fine, but it's going to take a few weeks," Smith said. "It sure is a costly lesson."
