1. Tía Petra wants to gift her furniture to Sofia and Berta, but when she takes all the plastic off, she discovers insects have ruined them. From the experience, they learn the importance of enjoying what you have now because you never know when it will be gone. (Chapter 18)

2. Berta and Sofia demonstrate that they understand what it means to be comadres by supporting each other. Sofia supports Berta by being her dama de honor at her quinceañera, and Berta supports Sofia by making her dresses to take to Saint Luke’s. (Various chapters)
