My word: Raindrops keep falling?

A few weeks ago during a visit to the village, my daughters finally had the chance to put on their gumboots and play in the mud after a morning thunderstorm. They were so excited!

The excitement was not just because they rarely got the opportunity to do so back in Nairobi but mostly because I remained quiet the whole time. I didn’t call out “no jumping in the muddy puddle!” or “no splashing!” or even “be careful!” as I always did when in the city.
