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?

Fear and respectMy family have quite a few verbal traditions, almost all of them void of originality. For example, my dad is a big Kevin Smith fan, and for some reason showed us all of his movies despite their inappropriateness (something which annoyed my mum no end). This led to the endless practice of one of us saying "You must fear and respect the escalator!" whenever we are on an escalator.
