Setting: 8 am. Our mansion. My butler has just spritzed lavender water in the air to wake me up. He is drawing the shades open, letting sunlight stream into the grand masters’ bedroom.Me: “Niles, I would like some toast for breakfast.”
Niles: “Very good, Ms. Toni. With jam and butter?”
Me: “Strawberry please. And grape jelly as well.”
Niles: “Certainly. And how would you like your coffee today? Black with two sugars?”
Me: “And a little cream please.”
Niles: “We have some freshly squeezed orange juice this morning as well, and Master H has instructed for a tall glass of it to accompany your breakfast.”
Me: “That sounds wonderful. And oh, don’t forget how I like my toast, Niles.”
Niles: “Yes, Ms. Toni. No edges, crisp and branded with a T.”
It’s perfect for those who can’t get enough of the Times during breakfast. You’ve got the paper, and now you’ve got their logo on your toast.
Also perfect for those whose names start with the letter T. 😉

– And my imaginary butler? He’s Niles from The Nanny of course!
Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.
