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?

Geek with a Chinese Girl
My sister would play this game, which became a habit.
When she was walking along with her partner, if they spotted a geek with a Chinese girl, they would subtly draw the other's attention to it. They would quietly mutter "geek with a Chinese girl"
It would work both ways - geek Chinese girl with a non-geek man for example. So its not racist so shut up.
Anyway their game came to an abrupt end on a train one time, when their little daughter accurately pointed to, and screamed at, a "GEEK WITH A CHINESE GIRL!!"

A friend of mine would do something similar
if she saw a guy with an Asian girlfriend, she'd always say, 'Well, we know where he's been on his holidays, then.'
