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?

if i am back up north
at my parents' house, my dad will inevitably hiss loudly - ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss - as he walks past my bedroom door in the morning. even if it's obscenely early and he knows full well that the events of the night before will have made this rude awakening very painful for me.
similarly i will always reply "ssssssssssssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh".
this has been going on since i was about 6 (well, not the huge nights out and hangovers, clearly). i have no idea why.
