There’s this cartoon — it’s a group of children waiting to get into school on a snowy winter day. They’re crowded outside, watching an adult shoveling snow; in the cartoon, the adult turns around, shovel in hand, and tells the one child in a wheelchair: once I’m done shoveling the steps, I’ll get to the ramp.
