MORTGAGE

For his birthday, little Patrick asked for a 10-speed bicycle. His father said:

"Son, we'd buy 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 and no bike!"
