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?

My familyHas a rule that whenever we meet to celebrate a happy occasion, it must quickly descend into an emotional minefield. Why stop there though, we're all well armed with secrets and indiscretions of the other family members, so we then proceed to throw everything we've done wrong in life in each other’s faces, have a big row and spoil yet another opportunity to behave like civilized, rational human beings.
I guess we're traditionalists, because not an occasion has passed that we haven't kept this ritual alive.
selfish cunts.....
