A four-year-old boy decided to take his recently divorced mother out on a date, paying for the entire thing with his own money. When the meal was finished, they received an unexpected note on their bill from the waitress.

Four-years-old Max Schofield is already melting the hearts of women in England and across the Internet. Not only had he made his own decision to take his recently divorced mother, Emma, out on a Valentines Day date, but he wanted to pay for it with his own money.

It all began when Max and his mother were out grocery shopping and the young romantic told his mother to “close her eyes.” After peeking to see what he was up to, she was touched to see that her son had picked a valentines card and a small teddy bear in a gift bag to give to her for Valentine’s Day. “My eyes welled up as we continued to shop,” Emma explained, according to Daily Mail.

However, that was only the beginning of Max’s plans for his mother. The next day, he decided to treat his mother to lunch at Pizza Express. Knowing that it was his mother’s first Valentine’s Day alone, he didn’t want her to feel lonely.

The restaurant they had their Valentine’s dinner, Pizza Express.

“I have always brought my son up to be thoughtful, kind, caring and appreciate even the smallest gestures,” explained Emma, according to The Sun. “Today he took me to Pizza Express (of course I was the designated chauffeur) and wanted to treat me to a special meal. He also brought his jar of pennies with him. After a delicious three course meal, we went to pay. We were greeted with a waitress in tears who had watched our special dinner date.”

What the tearful waitress did next, Max or Emma could have never expected. A handwritten message on their receipt said, “This one’s our treat, love Pizza Express.” The staff had been so touched by the young boy’s gesture, they had decided to give the pair their meal for free.

“This extremely kind gesture left me crying with happiness and holding onto my son with pure joy!” the mother expressed.

I think the most touching part of this story is the how remarkable this young mother was doing as a parent. It’s not easy raising children with proper morals in the world we live in, and it’s more than refreshing to see a young boy treating his mother with this kind of respect. I think more parents should take a lesson from this pair. All children should possess this kind of attitude towards their parents and people they encounter.
