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?

We're not irish..
and my family do this!! None of us are small and dark so we had to base it on the most male person. As my dad was the only male, he won. Until my sister got married to a small dark haired man. He came to stay for new years and was unaware of the tradition, until his was handed a piece of coal and told to climb over the garage.
