1. Pillowy socks that automatically repel pet hair.
2. Cushy boy socks that automatically repel stink.
3. A drawer that prevents produce from rotting into a slimy, disgusting mess.
4. A mattress/comforter maintaining a 68 degree sleep area inside a 72 degree bedroom so I don’t freeze when I get up to pee.
5. An in home supply station stocked with pretzels, peanuts, Swedish fish, SmartFood, and cheese cubes.
6. A phantom chef who batch cooks overnight so my fridge is stocked with gluten free lunch foods.
7. An all-in-one dog grooming brush and vacuum.
8. A magical teflon coating protecting all our clothes from random food stains.
9. A mug that combines ingredients to my preferences so when someone offers to get me coffee I can say yes.
10. Solid, restful sleep 365 days a year.
11. A Roomba to supplement our regular vacuum. (Any pet owners have luck with this?)
12. An automated towel folder. Bonus points if it stores them, too.
13. A computerized staple system: open the last bottle of ketchup/laundry detergent/garlic chili sauce/sesame oil/body wash and the system automatically drops one in your shopping cart.
14. Wood, except without any splinters. Ever.
15. Neighborhood Watch for people who don’t want anti-mask/anti-vaccine violence showing up on our doorsteps.

29. The benefit of consistently nonstick pans without the risk of teflon toxicity.
30. Flipping a breaded fish filet without a) leaving part of the breading stuck to the pan, or b) splashing butter/oil everywhere in the process.
31. That FedEx will pick up the package they left here “by mistake” four days ago. After two calls to FedEx and one call to the company that shipped it I’m about ready to contact G. Jeffkin in Massachusetts to alert him some crazy lady in North Carolina is doing her darnedest to get his package back on the road to him BUT NOBODY WILL HELP.

Number 13 is possible, perhaps eminent, but it requires way too much monitoring by others for my taste.

I’ve wondered about those “smart” refrigerators — the ones with the screen on the door that can suggest recipes or tell you what’s in the fridge. That seems like the sort of thing that could create a shopping list. Knowing my luck it’s more likely to scold me for not cleaning the shelves.

I have never worn high heels for business or pleasure. Am I missing something?

NO!! I’ve never worked in them but used to wear them for fancy events — dinners, going to the theatre — but eventually I ended up hobbling away at the end of the night.

My mum wore high heels as long as I can remember – she can’t anymore due to hip problems – and I used to think when I grow up I will too. Maybe I just forgot to grow up.

I’m with you on these. I might add a Hagen Daz Waffle cone flavor dispenser in my freezer.

My “yes!” became louder as the numbers in your list grew higher. Could we maybe add something like an automatic trap door that opens underneath any politician that supports the tRump as he steps forth into the world, or approaches any kind of microphone? And then maybe we could also consider a magic pill to make corporations ready and willing to share the wealth by keeping prices down, along with the salaries of the CEO, and fairly compensating employees.
