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?

My grandpa likes to teach "life lessons"If, say, you were eating some cake and had left the cherry till last, my Grandpa would lean over and say "Oh, don't you want that?" and eat it. Which made me upset and confused as to what he was trying to teach me.
Now I realise he wasn't trying to teach me anything, not even "It's a hard world out there", no no no... he was just a greedy bastard who wanted the cherry.
He's still alive at 97, clinging on, doing the Times crossword every day, yet unable to remember who anyone is.
