To Laura King, her three children were acting normal while enjoying dinner at an Italian restaurant in their hometown in Washington state.

But staffers of the restaurant Sogno di Vino (SOH'-nyo dee VEE'-noh) in Kingston were so impressed at her children's table manners that they thanked her kids and gave the family of five a bowl of ice cream.

It wasn't until King got home that that she noticed a $4 "well-behaved kids" discount on her receipt to cover the dessert. A friend posted a picture of the receipt on the website Reddit, and the story took off.

King's children are 2, 3 and 8 years old.

King says it's been entertaining to see all the attention her story has gotten, and she plans to dine at Sogno di Vino again soon.
