English Original
One day, little Johnny asked his father for a $200 bicycle for his birthday. His father replied, "Johnny, we have an $80,000 mortgage on the house. Wait until Christmas."
When Christmas arrived, Johnny asked again. His father said, "The mortgage is still very high. Ask me another time."
Two days later, Johnny was seen leaving the house with all his belongings in a suitcase. His father asked why he was leaving. Johnny explained, "Yesterday, I heard you tell Mommy you were 'pulling out,' and she said to wait because she was 'coming too.' Well, I'll be damned if I'm left stuck with an $80,000 mortgage!"

一天，小约翰尼请求父亲在他生日时给他买一辆200美元的自行车。父亲回答说：“约翰尼，我们的房子还有8万美元的房贷。等到圣诞节再说吧。”
圣诞节到了，约翰尼再次提出请求。父亲说：“房贷还是很高，改天再说吧。”
两天后，有人看见约翰尼提着一个装着他所有物品的手提箱离开了家。父亲问他为什么要走。约翰尼解释道：“昨天，我听见你对妈妈说你要‘撤出’，她说让你等等，因为她‘也要来’。哼，我才不要一个人背这8万美元的房贷呢！”
