Subject: Little Patrick

 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 I heard you tell mom you were pulling out.  I heard her tell you to wait because she was coming too.  And I'll be darned if I'm sticking around here by myself  with an $80,000 mortgage and no bike."
