big mortgage

[LEO]

For his birthday, little Joseph asked for a 10-speed bicycle..

His father said, 'Son, we'd give 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 Joseph heading out the front door with a suitcase.

So he  asked, 'Son, where are you going?' Little  Joseph told him; 'I was walking past your room last night and heard you telling mum you were pulling out.

 Then I heard her tell you to wait because she was coming too.

 

And I don't want to stay here by myself with a £280,000 mortgage and no bike!
