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?

A similar storyWhen I was growing up we always had a box of dates in the house over Christmas. My Dad, unbeknownst to me would take a couple of date stones and place them in front of the fireplace for me to find on Christmas morning.
When I found them and asked what they were he would tell me "Those, my boy, are reindeer droppings"
Just like I do to my children...
