A Sicilian mother took away her 61-year-old son's house keys, cut off his allowance and hauled him to the police station because he stayed out late.
Tired of her son's misbehaviour, the pensioner in the central Sicilian city of Caltagirone turned to the police to "convince this blockhead" to behave properly, La Sicilia, one of Sicily's leading newspapers, reported.
The son responded by saying his mother did not give him a big enough weekly allowance and did not know how to cook.
"My son does not respect me. He doesn't tell me where he's going in the evenings and returns home late," the woman was quoted as saying. "He is never happy with the food I make and always complains. This can't go on."
Police helped the squabbling duo make up and the two returned home together, with the son's house keys and daily allowance restored.
Most Italian men still live at home late into their 30s, enjoying their "mamma's" cooking, washing and ironing.
About 40 years too late.
How’s that self-appointed posting police gig workin’ out for ya?
What’s his FR screen name?
Talk about “Failure to Launch........”
At first I thought that was a typo and that it was supposed to say 16-year-old son.
Geez what 61-year-old still lives with his parents and has an allowance?? Why doesn’t he get off his lazy ass and get a job.
Umbilical cord of steel?.....Jeez!
looks like the DumbBlonde gig is working for you...
