Neighbor?

Anonymous:
I have the most amazing hispanic neighbors but I am not always sure how to react to certain situations. They had a baptism celebration on Saturday which I was invited to and did stop by to pay my respects. Today however the mom and one of the sons came by and gave my wife a dozen roses for her birthday, leftover cake, leftover sheep, mole (sp?) and several favors from the baptism. They have lived next door for years and I know the father and two of the kids very well but the mother has never done anythiong like this before. I guess my question is are we supposed to get them something now or would that be insulting? We just dont know how to take what happened tonight. Thanks

Anon, this is not a problem related with Spanish language or culture .

Though I know there are lot of people who are like this in the whole world . May be the hostess did not want to waste extra food so she gave it to you. I think there is no such rule .My advice is to refuse the things politely saying we already have a lot of food stored so please don't waste giving us or if you find it difficult to refuse,you just accept it and later on throw it in the garbage can .Emotion: stick out tongueEmotion: whisper

It may be just a way of making you participate in their celebration or share their joy with you. I would just accept the "presents" and thank them. I don’t think they are expecting to get something from you now. When you have a similar celebration at home, you may make them participate in a similar way.
