Little Johnny asked for a new bicycle for his birthday.
"Son, we'd love to give you a new bike but our home mortgage is $280,000, your mother just lost her job, and there's just no way we can afford it," said his father.
The next morning, Dad caught Little Johnny heading out the front door with a suitcase.
"Johnny? Where are you going?"
"I'm leaving!" replied Little Johnny indignantly.
"But why, son?"
"Well, Dad, last night, when I passed your room, I heard you tell Mom you were pulling out, and then she told you to wait because she was coming too, and I'll be damned if I'm staying here alone with a $280,000 mortgage and no bicycle!"
