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?

Oooh!My dad used to do this. It started when we were really little and would laugh at anything. He would come in and say "I know how this ends..."
Naturally the first time he said this we looked at him half expectantly.
"A monster comes and eats them all up."
We were watching Neighbours.
He carried on doing this for a few years, no matter what it was we were watching, until out of habit he said it in a crowded cinema. I think it was for The Jetsons or something.
One girl cried.

my daddoes this too, because he really believes that unless he chose to watch it, it must be crap. When home, I've taken to asking it when ever i see him settling down to watch a nice war documentary; drives him mad!
