\nOjos que no ven, coraz\u00f3n que no siente: Out of sight, out of mind
\nSobre gustos no hay nada escrito: Different strokes for different folks
\nDios los cr\u00eda y ellos se juntan: Birds of a feather flock together
\nM\u00e1s vale tarde que nunca: Better late than never
\nQuien calla otorga: Silence speaks volumes
\nA rey muerto, rey puesto: Out with the old, in with the new
\nEs como hablar a la pared: It\u2019s like talking to a brick wall
\nM\u00e1s vale p\u00e1jaro en mano que ciento volando: A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
\nComo quien oye llover: It\u2019s like water off a duck\u2019s back
\nA caballo rega\u00f1ado no le mires el diente: Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth
\nNo es oro todo lo que reluce: Not all that glitters is gold<\/p>\n

\nTom: \u00bfS\u00ed? Igual era mi padre. Ha venido a visitarme unos d\u00edas.
\nCatalina: A pues seguro que era \u00e9l. De tal palo tal astilla.
\nTom: S\u00ed, nos parecemos f\u00edsicamente pero no en gustos. \u00bfSabes cu\u00e1l es la comida favorita de mi padre?
\nCatalina: No, dime.
\nTom: La morcilla.
\nCatalina: Uf, bueno eso no es nada. La comida favorita de mi padre son los callos.
\nTom: \u00bfLos callos? \u00bfQu\u00e9 es eso?
\nCatalina: Son trozos de tripa de vaca.
\nTom: \u00a1Oh! No entiendo a nuestros padres \u00bfC\u00f3mo pueden comer eso?
\nCatalina: Sobre gustos no hay nada escrito. Un momento. Ese es mi padre y \u00a1est\u00e1 hablando con tu padre!
\nTom: S\u00ed, es verdad. Seguro que est\u00e1n hablando de sus platos favoritos.
\nCatalina: S\u00ed, Dios los cr\u00eda y ellos se juntan.
\nTom: S\u00ed mira mira. Van al bar de Pepe.
\nCatalina: \u00a1Es el bar favorito de mi padre! Seguro que va a invitarle a un plato de callos.
\nTom: Madre m\u00eda. \u00a1Qu\u00e9 frustraci\u00f3n!
\nCatalina: D\u00e9jale que coma lo que quiera.
\nTom: Es que soy vegetariano y me gustar\u00eda que mi padre dejara de comer animales.
\nCatalina: Pues habla con \u00e9l del tema.
\nTom: He intentado que deje de comer carne muchas veces pero es como hablar con la pared.
\nCatalina: Ya, me imagino. Yo cuando hablo con mi padre tambi\u00e9n me parece que no escucha. \u00a1Es como si oyera llover!
\nTom: \u00a1Qu\u00e9 parecidos son nuestros padres!
\nCatalina: S\u00ed, son como dos gotas de agua.<\/p>\n
