Yesterday, at 5:00 AM, my 10 year old son woke me up and said “Hey Dad, we haven’t had a breakfast alone for a long time, left’s go!”  Of course we could not find anything open besides Denny’s so we said our prayers and headed there.

We had a great time, talked about school, XBOX 360, Spring break plans, summer vacation, it was all around a wonderful time :)

Then came the time to pay and head back home.  Oops, I forgot my wallet at home!  No credit cards, no cash, no driving license, nothing.  The bill was $17, so I went to the cashier and explained the situation and she was not pleased :(

She went and brought the manager on duty who said “I am sorry if you have no way of paying the $17 I will need to call the police”  I laughed, I thought he was joking!  unfortunately he was not.  I asked if he would take a credit card over the phone and he said yes!  So I called my wife and woke her up and got the numbers and passed it to him while he was still very upset.

The final part of the story is my favorite part, while he was entering the numbers manually into the system, he stopped at the end and turned around and asked me “How much would you like to leave for tip?”
