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?

not too much saltmy German grandad always has his German bread with salted butter, and then sprinkles salt on it.
everyone else loves this also, but he guards this bread with his life.
on the off chance you get some, he always says "not too much salt"
we are a family of salt.. eaters..?
and so now anytime any of us is pouring salt, it always has to be said.
also random blackadder quotage is common place in mothers house

I reckon parents get trappedin a particular time period at some point in their lives.
My parents do this with Blackadder and whistling the intro to some bloody Human League tune from twenty years ago.
