Kyle and Emily were fighting over who got to go first on the water slide this time down. I told them it doesn't matter who goes first, that they would each get a turn. They still didn't care so I told Kyle that he should be chivalrous and let Emily go first. We've used the term with them before so they know what it is. But in that moment, when I asked Kyle what chivalry meant, here is what he told me:
Chivalry: when you shiver and shiver when you're cold, like we are now.
