july 23: twelve year old boy, le pain quotidien

i had been debating for a few minutes over which delicious-looking pastry to indulge in when a young boy walked in and very decisively told the man behind the counter that he would like one mixed berry tart, please.  a bit surprised and charmed by his boldness, i said, "so is that the best thing here?  should i get that too?"

he smiled and said,

"yeah, that's the best thing here.  i wouldn't have known it if it weren't for my mom making me try it one time.  but now i know that she always knows the best things."

a  sweet lesson that he learned at such a young age!
