The King family of Poulsbo, Washington, was surprised when they received their bill at the Sogno di Vino restaurant and noticed that they had been given a “well-behaved kids” discount. The servers had been so impressed with the three young King children throughout the meal that they wanted to congratulate and thank them somehow.

Restaurant owner Angela Scott told the New York Daily News that they rarely see kids display such good behavior. “You would never even know that children were in the dining room,” Scott said. “We just wanted to say, ‘Awesome! You guys were so good!’” In addition to the discount, the restaurant treated the King kids to free ice cream.

Laura King, 28, was so pleased that she took a picture of the bill and posted it on her Facebook account. Without her knowledge, one of her friends uploaded the image to Reddit, where it quickly went viral.

“This was definitely a random act of kindness,” King told the Daily News. “We didn’t go to the restaurant expecting a reward. We expect our kids to act this way whenever we are out and about. This was just a small surprise.”

      There is nothing much worse than a loud, annoying child acting up in a restaurant. Especially when the parent’s ignore their children’s horrible behavior. I was taught from an extremely young age what was acceptable/unacceptable in public…no ands, ifs or buts! I’ve noticed the people with the worst kids don’t spank them.

      My boy has autism and does pretty well in restaurants, which we frequent so he has practice being in the real world and because he deserves to be fully included in society—but we’re not getting any discount. Makes me sad for several reasons.

      Bad behavior by kids in restaurants is 100% the fault of the parent(s). Unfortunately, the worse the kids, the less likely the parents are to even notice. They’re accustomed to talking while ignoring noise, fighting, bouncing around, kids annoying others. It’s really amazing what kids can do to irritate and annoy other customers and the staff while the parents remain blissfully unaware. Of course, the only thing that’s worse are the parents who take some kind of weird pride in loudly hitting and/or yelling at their kids in the center of a dining room. There are some really violent, dangerous PsOS out there. In restaurants people routinely come up to tell us how well behaved our kids are. It’s nice, but it always strikes us as a bit weird. Shouldn’t the rotten kids be the exception worth noticing, not the rule that everyone expects?

      I once kicked a kid in the head because he was lying on the ground and I couldn’t see him because I was carrying a huge tray of food. He was lucky I didn’t drop the tray on him too. That being said I have kids and know the struggle parents have taking them anywhere. Safety first though people!

      Shouldn’t…this be the expectation for everyone? Ah ha ha ha, obviously not. We need to reward people for raising their kids to be polite. So novel.

      I’ve seen some really awful behavior from kids in restaurants but I think it reflects more on the parent. There is no reason why your kid should be running around a restaurant - it’s very dangerous. One time we even had a toddler wander into the kitchen - even more dangerous, when you consider how many times kitchen staff have burned themselves, sliced their hands open, etcetc. Or parents who bring a dvd player or noisy tablet for their kid to entertain themselves. Might keep the kid from screaming and throwing shit but its disruptive to everyone else who doesn’t want to dine to the soundtrack of Dora the Explorer.

      Finally, some good parents! There is hope for the future!

      Awesome restaurant owner and awesome family! kids now-a-days believe that if you aren’t hurting anyone, then acting however you want is ok.
