My hubby and I are big fans of 1st Wok on Alpine.We go at least a couple of times per month. I guess you'd call us "regulars". We typically go on Sundays because they have a great special where you can get soup and an eggroll complimentary with your meal. Our little kids love the Won-ton soup and Fried Dumplings. They are quite rambunctious. I have a saying that kids are either wild or mild. Sometimes I feel embarrassed like the kiddos are being too wild.

So, a couple of weeks ago on a Friday night I ordered take out. I came in to pick up my order, and I could tell the owner thought I was missing some wee ones. I said to him, "I left the little ones at home tonight. You know they are so wild and everything." He smiled and told me they are fine. The owner made some small talk with me and said, "What you do for a living?" I told him I was a loan officer. He asked, "You like your job? You got a card?" And at the same time, he said to the hostess, "when you get ready to buy a house, you go see her." I gave them my card and told them that, yes, I like my job, but that this market sure has had its challenges.

A few days later, he sent me a gift certificate for two complimentary lunches!I was so moved by his kindness. My hubby and I snuck out for a rare lunch without the kiddos and our usual waitress noticed we were without the kids. She acknowledged it was nice for us to get away without them for a brief time, but she assured us that our kids are well behaved!
