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?

Keep it in the Family
My mum lamented the day my brother and I left home and constantly rang us to tell us how empty she felt inside.
Dad had always complained how we stayed up for ages and kept him and mum awake all the time. Our youthful energy had been putting him to shame and straining their relationship. We couldn't have that, So, we left home.
All good things must come to an end it seems.. Even incest.
