No look, behind the back, toothbrush in the cup, no rim. BAM. This kid wins.
She has such an adorable smile when she gets it.

The look on her face. The joy! Ugh, my heart.

I wish I could trick my friends with kids into accidentally letting their kids who are her age, watch this video. The number of "I hate you" reply texts would probably make my phone catch fire.

All that made me smile a lot as well (but not nearly so adorably).

This is minimally related.
Ok, so I’m a primary care doctor. Spend a lot of time looking in ears. Those little black pointy things that go on the otoscope are called “ear speculums” They’re disposable for single use. Mine are mounted in a dispenser on the wall. On the opposite wall, about eight feet away from the exam table, there is a six inch hole on the counter next to the sink that leads to a garbage can (or rubbish bin if you’re from the UK). After years of doing this 20 times a day, every day, I can hit that six inch hole with my used speculums from eight feet away >95% of the time. If I’m “in the zone” I can bank it off the back splash of the counter. When it goes in, I never say a word and swiftly move on to the next part of the exam, silently appreciating the patient’s reaction.
On the rare occasion I miss, it’s like the scene in the Big Lebowski where Donnie leaves one pin standing — vaguely ominous. Depending on the levity of the patient encounter I might say something like “Shit, this is going to be one of *those* days” which I realize is a non-reassuring thing to hear from your doctor.
Having me as your doctor alternates between magical/hilarious and horrifying.

How does the toilet paper tube drop trick work?
I feel the same way about tossing my coffee cup into the compost bin; granted, it's only 3' from me.

In a similar vein but nowhere near as cute, Best of a Normal Day.
