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 & 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 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!"
