Senior Humor
Dirty Laundry
A young couple moved into a neighborhood, next door to an older couple.
One morning while eating breakfast, the older next-door neighbor sees her younger neighbor hanging laundry outside.
"That laundry is not very clean," she says to her husband. "She doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap."
The older woman's husband looked on, but remained silent.
Every time her young neighbor would hang her laundry to dry, the older woman would make the same comments.
About one month later, the older neighbor was surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband, "Look, she has learned how to wash correctly! I wonder how that happened?"
The husband said, "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows."

Winter is the time for comfort,
