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?

Mervyn and Lloyd
Price lived across the street. Mervyn was - well I actually don't know what Mervyn did but Lloyd was one of the green keepers at the local racetrack. He hated mowing the yard at home so Mervyn always did it.
At last Mervyn died. Some months later -
Lady next door. "Your yard is getting a bit overgrown Lloyd. Maybe you should run the mower over it."
Lloyd "That's Mervyn's job."
