    "Happy Birthday Bungot"

    Birthdays are a big deal here. For the kids at the shelter it is one of the few days that all attention is on them.  My birthday just passed so it was my turn to be the center of attention.  Bart (almost 5 years old) wished me a happy birthday by saying, "Happy Birthday Bungot."  Bungot means beard in Cebuano.  He had decided that sounded better than Uncle Joel.  A couple days later at Argei Kem's birthday party I sat at the little kids table with Bart and his little sister Jashly (3).  Bart was still wishing me a "Happy Birthday Bungot."  He started chanting it and pulling my goatee.  Jashly joined in with the chanting and pulling.
