Give way / Give away?

Our family of 3 and a friend's family of 4 usually squeeze into a single vehicle for occasional city trips, the fathers in front with one kid piggy-fronting with the passenger seat occupant, and the rest - we mothers and the other two kids adjusting in the rear.

On one such trip, my friend's kids sat between us, and it was obvious that the older son was in no mood to humour his younger sister, and we could feel him fidgeting to remain comfortable.

Being the youngest of three siblings myself, I felt happy to advise the boy - "Ashwin, you are older, and perhaps you could give way" to which the teenage came back - "yes, auntie, I'm ready to give her away"...

Sibling rivalry can have some ultra-light moments too!
