Just a few weeks back on Twitter I got an ad for a "better" toothbrush, one that will make brushing so much easier. I immediately was like "wtf?" and put up what I thought was a sort of average response to it, like, how hard can tooth-brushing be that we need an easier brush? How lame are we as a society

A very simple, easy answer, but really put in perspective for me how stuff I take for granted truly isn't easy for all.

Reality checks are a really good thing, aren't they. I suspect we need them on a regular basis, too, because it's really easy to forget that which isn't a constant, too. (I still can't believe I almost took my mother to a restaurant whose bathroom is in the basement!)
