For his birthday, little Patrick asked for a 10-speed bicycle.
His father said, "Son, we'd give you one, but the mortgage
on this house is $280,000 and your mother just lost her job.
There's no way we can afford it."
The next day the father saw little Patrick heading out the
front door with a suitcase. So he asked, "Son, where are
you going?"
Little Patrick told him, "I was walking past your room last
night and heard you telling Mom you were pulling out.
Then I heard her tell you to wait because she was coming
too, and I'll be damned if I'm staying here by myself with
a $280,000 mortgage & no bike!"
