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?

Not a ritual anymore you'd be glad to knowWhen my brother and I were all little (I was about 8, him 4) my ever loving, caring, responsible parents used to go out on the lash every saturday and invite one of the (rather naive) grandparents round to kip at our gaff i.e. look after us.
This was the greatest night of the week. Basically no matter which grandparent was staying, they'd always go to have a sleep after tea.
Brilliant.
What did me and my brother do? Eat a shed load of chocolate, pull all the cushions off the sofas, make assault courses (using the cushions, tables, lamps, cats etc), don our swimming costumes and re-enact the goings on of Gladiators!!.. To the backing music of REM and the Beautiful South.
Ritual ended when I cracked my brothers head open on the fire place and had an impromptu visit to casualty.
Damn it!

To the backing music of REMThat's not really Gladiators music though is it. Unless you played "Everybody Hurts".

That'd be the worst Gladiators ever."And he's.... why's he doing that? It looks like the contender's trying to Hang Tough with his throat!"
