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?

Every morning
I've been married for 4 and a half years now. Me and the missus lived together for 18 months before that. So 6 years in total we've lived together. During that time, we've only spent 8 nights away from each other. So I reckon we've woken up together on 2184 mornings (including leap years).
Every morning, and I do mean every morning, I peek out through the curtains to see what the weather is like and every time I do, the wife says "what's it like out?" and every morning I reply "It's big and there's no ceiling!"
We also do "I need a wee"; "you go wee then"; "weeeeeeeee!"
Oh, and "I've just had a thought"; "first time for everything"
Oh and a Morcambe and Wise classic that goes either:
Wife: "it's nice out"
Me: "I might get mine out then"
OR
Me: "it's nice out"
Wife "yeah, but don't leave it out, eh?"

me: "i thought you had a look of concentration about you"
OR
"Well get out of the bed then you filthy harlot"
