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?

Boo!Every morning when we wake up, the kids sneak into our bed for a bit of a cuddle before breakfast (awww..). Sadly I am rarely able to stay long because within a few minutes of waking, my guts will be expecting their morning exercise so I'll head off to the bathroom for a much-needed dump.
When I return to the bedroom, my son (who's four) will be hiding under the duvet. I am then expected to wander around the room, loudly pondering on his whereabouts until he decides it's time to throw back the duvet and yell 'Boo!' at the top of his voice.
If I don't follow this ritual, he will sulk and refuse to eat his breakfast.
Kids, eh?
