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?

Who's "Nikel" ?
When me and my brother were very little we misheard the phrase "Good night, God bless" as "Nikel bless" thus that was what we would say every night as we went to bed.
When we were slightly older we asked our parents who "Nikel" was and why he was blessing us...
We still use the phrase now even though we know the truth.
