very close as a kid - but I always got out of fights by humor. One such time as boys do, we start calling each other names. He started off by saying, "my dad could beat the shit out of your dad"..my reply.. "and just how much would that favor cost?".
the guys laughed so loud that we soon became friends after that. there is never a need to fight, unless protecting the reputation of a woman.
