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?

Extended version
My mum tells me this used to be my great grandma's motto which she used to say before shaking the foundations with one of her special brand depth charges.
She used to recite the extended Wiltshire version...
"Wherever you be, let your wind blow free,
In Church an' Chapel, let it rattle,
Or else it be the death o' me"
