Family codes and rituals
Freddy 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?

Listening to Simon and Garfunkel's "Concert in central park"..
..when all in the car driving back at night from wherever.
My brothers and I still piss ourselves recalling the stuff S & G would tell the audience in between songs, however inconsequential, and whenever it's a nice evening I can often be heard intoning, "Well it's a beautiful night.." with a Garfunkel lilt, to complete strangers.
The songs still get me. That's a great album.
