I have been brushing my teeth
for longer and longer periods of time lately.
This has to do with
I suspect
the holographic toothbrush I have
so I no longer have to do the tedious work
of moving my arm up and down
to clean my teeth.
The rotary motion of the brushes do the work for me
so all I have to do is more of a back and forth thing
so I cover the entirety of my mouth.

I spend more time doing the inside of the mouth,
the back teeth,
repeating the process,
being a completionist about the whole ordeal
– but it’s not an ordeal –
it’s an important part of oral hygiene.

It appears that the technology being available
to make the job easier
has only made me work harder and longer
to do it more correctly.
Funny thing, huh?

No, I didn’t think so either.
