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."

Family codes and rituals
Whenever anything vaguely related to sex came on the TV, my Mum would shout 'Cushions!' and my sisters and I would all have to cover our faces with a cushion. Not only was this rather embarrassing as you could still hear the people having sex, but I now have an irrational hatred of cushions and see them as a form of censorship.
