There's something so refreshing when a child effortlessly sings.

There's something so refreshing when a child effortlessly sings.

Today, while helping my Filipino artisans set up their workstation, I gave one of their kids a pack of crayons and a colouring book (haha, ok so that they would not be bugging their parents too much lol).
I enjoyed a song sung by the older daughter. She was singing about a father, heading out sea … to surf (I thought she was going to say go fishing). And then he returns to his family all sunburned & "tutong," the Tagalog word referring to the crispy layer of burnt rice at the bottom of a pot after cooking. 🍚
Interestingly, her dad and uncle, are both surf instructors. 🏄‍♂️
…And are both “tutong” 😂
Shell be right,
Rina
P.S. Have you discovered moments of simple joy today? Mine came from the delightful innocence of a childlike song 🎵.
