Imagine working as a server at a restaurant. If you saw a dad come in with his kids, who do you think would be the person most likely to give you problems, the dad or the kids?

In this story, a server explains what happens when a little girl orders a kids meal. The dad is unhappy when he sees the kids meal, but the little girl’s reaction was truly heart melting.

This is a story the server will probably never forget.

Let’s read all about it.

When a little girl stopped her dad from chewing me out

One day I was waiting tables and I get a dad with two kids.

One of the kids is a girl, she orders the kids chicken tenders with green beans and fries.

I say “I’m sorry kids meals only come with one side”

I look at the dad “an additional one would be 2.49”

Apparently, there’s a misunderstanding here.

He says “oh just give her just the green beans”

The little girls seems content with that, I leave to ring in their order.

Come back with their food, drop the kids plate down with tenders and green beans. I ask is there anything else I can get them.

The dad gets geared to fight, “where are her fries she asked for green beans and fries”

This is so cute.

I do an internal eye roll. As I’m about to explain to him AGAIN what are policy is.

The little girl says “dad, no, you said just green beans is fine and it is”

She’s like 6 tops.

Her dad relented.

He did an awkward smile and said oh okay [insert child name here].

I smiled and said “anything else?” And walked away.

I’ve never met a child I liked as much as that one.

That is such a sweet story! I love that the little girl was perfectly content with her order and got her dad to calm down.

Let’s see how Reddit responded to this story.

And sometimes they’re also very good liars.

Yes, I think this is what he meant, but the little girl understood it the same way the server did.

This is a funny story, but I’m sure it wasn’t funny at the time.

A parent weighs in.

I’m glad the dad listened to his daughter and dropped it. If she’s happy, that’s all that matters, right? She didn’t realize her dad was trying to get the server to give her an extra side for free. She took his statement the same way the server did. It sounded like he wanted her to have the green beans instead of the fries.

She sounds like a really sweet little girl.
