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?

Ever heard of the punch buggy game?well it goes like
everytime you see a VW beetle you punch someone in their arm and shout the color followed by "PUNCHBUGGY! NO PUNCH BACK!"
well my father started this with my brother and I who are about a year apart in age. As we got older though, my brother and I got a little more vicious on road trips and it finally stopped after I thought it would be funny to hit my brother while he was asleep.
however, not long ago I was on the phone with my dad and heard him get my sister in the background.

And if we rode together more oftenI'd still get you, kid.
Every time I go through the Fan and see the double punch buggies on Ellwood I think of you.

I am glad....I didn't know you when you were a kid - you were dangerous... Still a bit so I am afraid.

It was"Punch car, no return" in our family. Many a bruise I wore on my arm ... my brother was bigger and could actually see out of the car, giving him a bit of an advantage.
