First Fruits

Davnelid Flores 
I just have to share this story!

This darling fourth grader mentioned to me at lunch a couple of weeks ago that she wanted to start a special-order bakery, so I asked her if she could make 40 breakfast cupcakes for today's Teacher Workday.  She came back the next day to tell me she could make cinnamon and/or banana, and that they would be 10 Córdobas (32 cents) each, so I ordered 20 of each flavor, and came ready to pay C$400, plus a generous tip!

When she delivered my order early this morning, she informed me that I was her first real customer, therefore those cupcakes were her "primicias" (first fruits), and she would not be accepting payment.

This girl's been paying attention in Bible class!
