One day little Johnny went to his father and asked him if he could buy him a $200 bicycle for his birthday. Johnny’s father said, “Johnny, we have an $80,000 mortgage on the house, and you want me to buy you a bicycle? Wait until Christmas.”
Christmas came around, and Johnny asked again. The father said, “Well, the mortgage is still extremely high, sorry about that. Ask me again some other time.”
A couple of days later, the boy was seen walking out of the house with all his belongings in a suitcase. His father asked him why he was leaving, and the boy said, “Yesterday I was walking past your room, and I heard you say that you were pulling out, and mommy said that you should wait because she was coming too, and DAMN if I’ll get stuck with an $80,000 mortgage!”
