Perspective
A man and his wife watched new neighbors move in next door. The following morning, the wife saw the new neighbors' wash hanging on the line and remarked, "Would you look at those clothes. They're not clean. That woman has no idea how to do laundry."
A few days later, laundry hung on the line, and again the wife remarked on it: "Look at that. That laundry's filthy. When will she learn."
Several days later, the wife remarked similarly regarding the laundry that hung on the line that morning.
Then, one day the wife peered out the window and saw sparkling-white sheets and bright clothing hanging on the neighbors' line. "Well," the wife remarked, "she finally learned how to do laundry."
"No," her husband countered. "I washed your windows."
