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?

When I was a little lad
and my dad would take me somewhere, as we walked along holding hands he would hook his little finger over my wrist like a backwards thumb.
This used to irritate the hell out of me, and I would furiously yank it away and refuse to carry on walking if he did it again.
I vowed then that I would never annoy my own kids as much as he annoyed me.
These days when we walk into town, and I hold my little boy's hand, I hook my little finger over his wrist like a backwards thumb.
