Family codes and ritualsFreddy Woo writes, "as a child we used to have a 'whoever cuts doesn't choose the slice' rule with cake. It worked brilliantly, but it's left me completely anal about dividing up food - my wife just takes the piss as I ritually compare all the slice sizes."
What codes and rituals does your family have?

One day as we were drivingthe Lunatic Artist and I were listening to Frank Zappa's "Apostrophe" and laughing at it as we went. We got through "Yellow Snow" and were listening to "Nanook Rubs It" when she stirred restlessly in her seat and announced, "I gotta pee."
This came just after the part in the song where Nanook has rubbed yellow snow into the eyes of the seal hunter who stands there blinded in the tundra with arms outstretched and says, "I can't see." And in the background someone sings "buh doe be doe boe boe boe."
From that point forth whenever someone announced that they needed to pee, one of us would go "buh doe be doe boe boe boe."
I did that to my daughter the other day.
