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?

family rituals . . .Hmm we didn't have too many really although my mum was and still is very clockwork so there was a lot of daily rituals - such as when we all small (there was 7 of us kids, poor woman) every morning began with a bowl of porridge... dinner time was announced with a loud scream that permeated every nook of the house (UP AND SITTUP !) every day. Mashed potatoes would always be delivered to the plate by violently smashing in rapid succession the metal spoon off the plate as opposed to stopping before the plate and allowing momentum to do the work - used to drive the old fella mental . . . I think she used to do it on purpose... she's a diamond. Oh yeah and getting bathed every saturday whether we needed it or not. I live with her now just the two of us and things are a lot calmer...
I used to be employee 12754 on this yoke, time I shook off the shackles of that corporate bestowed name.... not sure where I'm going with the cats twat, sort of like the mutts nutts I suppose.... there you go...
