Story Summary:
• A couple has been married for over 60 years.
• The wife kept a shoebox in the closet and told her husband never to open it.
• When she was very ill, she allowed him to open it.
• Inside were two crocheted dolls and $95,000 in cash.
• She explained that her grandmother told her to crochet a doll whenever she got angry instead of arguing.
• The husband, touched, realized she had only been angry twice (since there were only two dolls).
• When he asked where the money came from, she said:
“From selling the dolls.”

⸻

Why it’s funny:
• The punchline flips the emotional moment on its head.
• The husband thinks she’s been angry only twice, but the huge amount of money reveals she had actually been angry many, many times, enough to earn $95,000 by selling those crocheted dolls.
• The humor comes from the contrast between his romantic assumption and the hilarious reality.

⸻

It’s a classic mix of:
• Sentimentality
• Subtle irony
• And a smart, quiet woman with a long memory and a side hustle.
