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?

Toilet HumourToilet humour seems to run in our family. every morning when my dad goes to the toilet he marches up the stairs announcing 'BY HECK, I THINK I'LL HAVE A GEORGE' (for some reason he explained some time ago he calles having a dump 'taking a george'. then when he gets out he loudly declares things like 'Thats a load off my mind'. this happens EVERY. MORNING.
and for some reason everyone in our family has really stinky poos and farts a lot.
also first post, yay!

My dadwill refer to them as "Richards", which is the same principle. Ergo, my boyfriend has bought him no less than three books about farting this Christmas.
