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?

In my worldThe total antithesis of this was that we were told as kids that it was bad luck to talk when passing one!

I am not sure that i quite qualify as a brotherBut it is reassuring to think that we are not alone when it comes to these things that you take for granted that everyone else does. I have passed the silence thing on to my son. Would surrounding the house with these trees be taking it a bit too far though?
