If wishes were magic, I would have a clean house

It may be politically incorrect, but dammit, I want a house elf.

"The handiest thing to take along on a picnic is a butler. This has more uses than a Swiss army knife. A butler can, for instance, direct the footmen where to place the tables and chairs, and supervise their setting out the linens, silverware, and stemmed glasses before unpacking the food hampers. (Now is the time for letter writers to inform Miss Manners, with some indignation, that many people nowadays have neither butlers nor footmen.... Why it is that people who cannot afford footmen think they can afford children, Miss Manners does not know. In the long run, they are a great deal more expensive.)"

This is what people should register for. Instead of all that baby paraphernalia that parents declare we can no longer live without, we should be pooling money with other friends/family and giving several years' worth of butler (or at least maid) service as a baby present!

God only knows we could use one. Assuming I wasn't too ashamed to let a dignified butler into my house. :P
