A husband and wife had been married for 60 years

A husband and wife had been married for 60 years

and had no secrets except for one: The woman

kept in her closet a shoe box that she forbade her

husband from ever opening. But when she was on her

deathbed and with her blessing—he opened the box

and found a crocheted doll and $95,000 in cash.

“My mother told me that the secret to a happy marriage

was to never argue,” she explained. “Instead,

I should keep quiet and crochet a doll.” Her husband

was touched. Only one doll was in the box—

that meant she’d been angry with him only once

in 60 years. “But what about all this money?”

he asked. “Oh,” she said, “that’s the money I made from selling the dolls.”
