Man holds his mom hostage because...

http://www.ajc.com/news/cops-man-holds-mom-566035.html

A 29-year-old Villa Rica man apparently expected his mother to iron his clothes for him. And when she wouldn't, he pulled a gun and held her hostage for several hours, police said.

Robert Edward Tyrrell Jr. remained in jail Wednesday without bond, Sgt. Marc Griffith with the Carroll County Sheriff's Office told the AJC. Tyrrell faces aggravated assault and false imprisonment following the June 30 incident, Griffith said.

"He wanted her to do some ironing, and when she said ‘no,' they got into an argument," Griffith said. "He told her ‘ironing is woman's work.' "

Send him to prison for about 6 months.  Put him on laundry and kitchen duty.  As soon as the other inmates learn what he did to his poor mom, I think he'll learn the real definition of "woman's work" !!!
