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?

Christams trees
Every winter, when we were kids, the familly would play "the Christmas tree game" as we were driving anywhere. The rules were simple - everytime you spot a Christmas tree, you'd say "there's one!". Whoever had spotted the most by the time we got to our destination won. Simple as that, but caused us much joy as kids.
I still do it now, but the missus just doesn't seem into it, so I always win.
