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 $80,000 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 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 staying here
by myself with an $80,000 mortgage and no bike!"
