I was in KC Pastries today, waiting to order a black tea with milk and tapioca, and the baker was serving a man and his two young children. They were ordering all kinds of pastries, several dozen, and at the end, the baker gave the children each a red bean paste bun, explaining that for people that make large orders, it's traditional for the baker to throw in something small for free. The customer's little girl (about 6 years old,) was polite and thanked the baker, the customer's little boy (about 4 or 5) said nothing. The customer asked his little boy. "Now, what do you say when someone gives you something nice as a gift?" The boy, without hesitation, pointed to a more colorful bun in the display case and said "I want THIS one INSTEAD."
