PHOENIX, AZ - 25-year-old Mitch Burgerdy, living with his parents since dropping out of college six years ago, has gotten "out of hand", according to his mother, Mrs. Burgerdy.

"He doesn’t take out the trash or clean his room!" said Mrs. Burgerdy. "My nerves are shot!"

A firm believer in corporal punishment, Mrs. Burgerdy still spanks Mitch when he "drives her up a wall".

"Quiet time doesn’t work anymore, because he never wants to talk to me, unless it’s back talk," said the exasperated mother. "So I thought spanking was the only solution. But, sometimes, he giggles! I’m afraid he might like it."

Explained Mitch, "It doesn’t hurt, and, well, it’s kinda funny. Definitely not a pervert thing, though. I mean, I don’t like my mom spanking me." He shrugged. "I just don’t mind the occasional whack on the ass if it means free rent and food."
