Five petty arguments Raúl and Fernando have had
Raúl Gonzalez/Fernando Morientes, PG.
One
The first time they roomed together, they squabbled about who got the bed by the window. Raúl won (as he would many times over) but the next day, Fernando realised the other man did not, as he put it 'rise with the morning sun' and in fact, looked like he wanted to show the rising sun where it could go.
They swapped that night.
Two
Whose turn it was to bring the condoms. Needless to say, they both went to bed unsatisfied.
Three
Raúl broke Fernando's shiny new cappucino maker in his first bachelor pad. This was even after he gave him the manual and wrote out fool-proof instructions, taping it on the counter. Raúl had to buy him a new one and, at the store, the red KitchenAid mixer on top to quell the stropping Fernando.
Four
The time they took the boys go-carting and Raúl put his foot down about no ice cream before lunch and Fernando told him it wouldn't hurt them to have a little bit. In the end, their sons didn't finish their lunch but were whining by four and it was up to Raúl to deal with them.
The pattern repeats itself every few months, with the time they took the kids to Euro Disney...to Marbella...to IMAX...
Raúl thinks Fernando should learn to grow a backbone in face of his sons, but Fernando knows Raúl has gone to the toy store and blown an entire credit limit worth of dolls for his own daughters.
Five
Whose turn it was to visit whom. It always started with a phone call: 'I'm tired so I think you should...' and ended with one or the other slamming the phone down after variations of implied or outright, 'I don't even know why we even bother!'
But really, it ended when one or the other opened the door that next weekend to find the other sheepish on their doorstep.
