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?

Outside toilets and petsMy dad told me that everytime my grandad would go out into the yard to go to the khazi, my grandma would always ask him where he was going.
"Ernie, where you going?"
"Shithouse" would be his reply every time.
One day, they got given a mynah bird for a pet, which, with them living in a small 2-up-2-down house and consequently not having the room for a birdcage, my grandad knocked up a small cage and hung it on the wall outside next to the back door.
It wasn't very long before the mynah-bird learned to say shithouse everytime it saw my grandad come through the door and heard my grandma shout after him.
