Dear Son,
We have a new toaster!
(I know that you suggested this
a couple of years ago
but we did feel very loyal to our old toaster
even though it was idle and slipshod.)
It toasts on both sides!
At the same time!
Without burning!
And you don't have to guess when the toast is done!
You can come home now.

The siren call of a new toaster - I like how you leave the gadget itself shrouded in mystery, to pique his interest. Cunning mother, you!
ReplyDeleteI am smiling at this sweet message.
ReplyDeleteThat should do it. It's been a long hard campaign but I think this strategy will pay off.
ReplyDeleteResorting to bribery MrsM - how very underhand - smacks of a woman desperately missing her son (((hugs)))
ReplyDeleteYou can try it but speaking as one who lives overseas I think you might have to up the stakes a bit.
ReplyDeleteWell, I don't know about MasterM, but we, here in Tuvalu, can sleep well now that we know the toasting in England is well in hand.
ReplyDeleteHow remiss of me - we don't even own a toaster.
ReplyDeleteNote to self: must invest in one before children old enough to leave home.
Awwww, Master M. do come home and enjoy some toast from the new, fandangled toaster. Your Mum will be all smiles, I know.
ReplyDeleteI thought for sure MasterM had been with you recently, bringing Easter snow.
ReplyDeleteI know this message is meant for MasterM so I feel somehow intrusive for commenting, but I do like this post very much.
ReplyDeleteThat toast looks very nice. I think you need some lime butter to go on it though.
(and if I lived within cooee, I would totally deliver on that offer)
ReplyDeleteSo if my mum got a new hairdryer, would I have to think about moving back home?
ReplyDeleteBecause if you thought your toaster was bad... I started moaning about said hairdryer when I was 17 years old.
this is too cute! good toasters ARE important though, I find that the smell of burnt toast lingers like few other smells.
ReplyDeleteI was reading and smiling, then I got to the last line and my eyes welled up. How long till he comes home?
ReplyDeleteJust last week our toaster began toasting only one side of the bread. What's more, I repaired two leaky faucets (this was Very Big for me), only to find them dripping again the next day. And now I am sick again, two weeks after the last bug.
ReplyDeleteWhat does it all mean???? Something ominous, for sure.
(Can't wait to hear if this proved just the trick to lure Master M home...)
We have been looking for just this sort of toaster for a long time! Harder to find than seems reasonable, though. I'm impressed!
ReplyDeleteOh Alice, this made me scream with laughter, surely this is the answer, who could possibly say no?
