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 $180,000 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 I heard you tell 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 sticking
around here by myself with an $180,000 mortgage
and no bike."
