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?

The man from the loftwas invented in our old house, by way of an explanation as to who ate all the salt and vinegar crisps/why my bedroom was so messy/who was going to do the dishes when none of the rest of us could be arsed to.
He was also a brilliant way to scare my younger sister into doing what we wanted, by telling her that if she didn't, the man from the loft would come and get her. If I recall, she was actually genuinely quite scared.
He moved into our new loft when we moved house, and has had a happy 10 years here, still eating all the good crisps, nicking my mam's makeup, messing up my bedroom and not doing the dishes.

Fine ...... just so long as he isn't called David and has an uncanny resemblance to Christopher Eccleston!

A friend of mineUsed to tell his little sister that if she was naughty, he'd phone the 'pie lady' to come and get her. The 'pie lady' liked to use little girls as the filling for her delicious pies. Suffice to say, the kid sister was always angelically well behaved....and is probably undergoing therapy now she's grown up.
