Kinda weird I know. If you know me well you know that it kinda makes me gaggy because I have bathroom issues. (Clearly I didn't have any boys to raise or I'm pretty sure my bathroom issues would have been resolved with teaching boys how to properly go. But I digress.) BUT. But I have to be grateful for toilets. Here's why. Toilets, while commonplace in developed countries, are a luxury in developing nations. Today happens to be World Toilet Day. No I'm not making it up nor am I joking, click here for the info. And here's really why I am grateful for them. They provide dignity, especially to girls and women. They also happen to serve as conduits to disease free lives. They keep *stuff* out of water that people will use for drinking and bathing, they help contribute to better hygiene, and they help with sanitation. Several studies have shown that due to the factors I just listed as well as others toilets can actually save lives. So my personal gag reflex aside, I am immensely grateful for the toilet which helps to better the lives of people all over the world.
