A few weeks ago Debbie and I went out to breakfast with a friend and his wife. After this breakfast something funny happened as Debbie and I were preparing to leave the restaurant. A light rain was falling outside as Debbie and I both walked to our car. I routinely open Debbie's car door for her whether its raining or perfect weather outside.

Initially this morning was no different than any other morning. After I opened Debbie's car door letting her in then I proceeded to the driver's side of our vehicle and I got in. Right after I got in an elderly couple walked up to the car parked next to us. The lady looked at me with this big smile and at first I didn't understand why. But then it became clear after she turned to her husband and demanded he open the door for her.

Her husband begrudged-ly came to her side of the car unlocking the passenger side door and letting her in. During this process this couple was bickering back and forth. Apparently this older gentleman was not used to pampering his wife by opening doors for her on a regular basis.

Debbie and I drove off and at first I really did not understand what just happened. Initially I just saw the old lady look over at me with this huge smile and I couldn't figure out why. After watching this episode unfold next to us Debbie figured it all out and explained it to me and we both chuckled as we drove off. I guess chivalry is not quite dead...
