This is a question 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?

oh
my dad and I do this too!
what's particularly tragic is that since I've moved to the US, dad and I have pun wars by email now...

we're on fish at the moment (enough carping on, stop floundering about, what's the name of the plaice you visited at the weekend? etc etc). this has been going on for a month...

Finish it quickly!
By turbot charging the conversation?

Stop it now
to save your sole!

Also: You've been cod in the act

Or just say "Halibut". When you get the inevitable "WTF?" responses, tell them it was a red Herring...

When I'm out with my family I plan my routes to avoid anything fish related now.

Pfft
Puns. That's enough of that methinks.

Well I'm off to the cinema to catch the 12:00 manatee.

I wrote a pun-inspired poem like that once
If we can get a plaice at a table
That's fine by me
We could just go for the hailbut
And maybe get some for free

But I wouldn't want to bass my decision
And make people pout
Purely because of my fascination
With the different types of trout

But alas, I'm starting to flounder
So i pray to cod, I still have a sole
Enough of this madness
