Weird TraditionsTalking with a friend yesterday about school dinners, she suddenly said, "We had to march into the dining room behind the School Band... except on Thursdays." Since all of us were now staring, she qualified this with, "...on Thursdays there was no wind section. It was a tradition."
What weird stuff have you been made to do "because it's a tradition."

Wagon wheelsAs a kid, my Dad used to sing the Wagon Wheel song and do the Wagon Wheel dance, if we ever ate Wagon Wheels. We were required to do the same.
This wasn't an officially sanctioned Wagon Wheel tune. It was one he invented. The lyrics were sheer poetry.
"Wagon Wheels, Wagon Wheels...
They're the ones that we like best
They're the best in the west
Wagon Wheels, Wagon Wheels..."
You sort of had to rock from one side to the other, taking a foot off the ground.
I grew up to be a well-adjusted individual. Says my Dad.
