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?

This thing of ours
My family have this thing called Omerta. It's a vow of silence taken by every made man when he enters our family. It essentially means that a made man is never to discuss any Family business or activities with any outsider (not including associates). You become a rat by breaking the code, and you'll pay with your life!
Most people think we're nuts to follow this ritual, but it keeps us strong and united. Capiche!
