No More Allowance


-------- No more allowance for 61-year-old son ----------

CALTAGIRONE, Italy - reuters-A 61-year-old man from Caltagirone,
Italy, turned up at the local police station with his 81-
year-old mother after she cut off his weekly allowance.
The man's mother also took his house keys away after he
did not come home when he was supposed to and did not tell
her where he was going when he went out, ANSA reported
Thursday. The 81-year-old woman also went to police in
an attempt to convince her "hard-headed" son to "behave
correctly with his mama." The son said his mother was the
one behaving badly, adding, "My weekly allowance isn't
enough... and she doesn't even cook well." The mother told
police: "My son doesn't respect me, he never tells me where
he goes at night and comes home at all hours." She added:
"I was forced to punish him by taking away his keys after
he yet again came home late at night. And he always
complains about my cooking. This just couldn't go on."
A local police officer convinced the mother and son to
return home together where the 81-year-old mother gave
her son back his keys and allowance.
