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?

My family and I share a few hilarious family rituals…Every morning, whatever the weather, my wife greets me with a cheery ”It’s nice and sunny, my funny honey bunny”.
Awww…
Then she jokes about how I’d better hurry up to get to work, because her ‘army of lovers’ are on their way round.
So thorough is she with all this japery, that she actually arranges for different men to park on my driveway as soon as I vacate it in the morning.
Sometimes they’re still there when I get home. She tells me to ‘Drive round the block or something, for fuck’s sake’, because she’s ‘not finished with them yet’.
As for my kids…well, I can’t actually remember how this one started…but every day when I pick them up from school they get to go through my wallet…and if the sum total of cash is an even number then they get to keep all the money.
One day…it will be an odd number I’m sure.
Good times.
