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?

Here's one for us oldies...Remember the episode of The Brady Bunch where they go to Hawaii and encounter a little cursed statue? My kids were watching that one day and I pointed out how every time they showed the little statue by itself, looking menacing just before they cut to an ad, they always played the same little trill on a flute: budda budda boo, BUDDA BUDDA BOO! And the kids cracked up every time it happened after that.
Years later I can go "budda budda boo" and they will respond with "BUDDA BUDDA BOO!"
Others look at us oddly.

There is a song called Tiki God(or a different version called Tiki Lounge God) by the Presidents of the USA that is about this statue.
