2 families lived next door. In one of them, the spouses constantly quarreled and sorted things out, and in the other, love, mutual understanding and silence always reigned.
The obstinate housewife could not understand how the neighbors managed to live without scandals. In her heart she envied them. One day a woman asked her husband to go to the neighbors and find out why everything was going smoothly in their lives.
The man went to the next window and carefully looked into the house. In the room he saw the hostess. She was wiping away the dust. At that moment the phone rang, and the woman hurriedly placed an expensive vase on the edge of the table. A few minutes later her husband entered the room. He didn't notice the vase and caught it. An expensive item fell to the floor and crumbled into pieces.
And then the neighbor thought: “Well, now a scandal will begin!”
But to his surprise, the woman approached her husband and calmly said: “Sorry, honey! It’s my fault: I placed the vase carelessly!” To which the husband replied: “Excuse me, dear! It’s my fault for not noticing her!”
The neighbor returned home upset. His wife asks him about the secret of family well-being. And her husband answers her: “You see, the whole point is that in their family everyone is to blame, but in ours they are right...”
