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?

DentistsEvil bastards though they may be, I can see now, as a fully paid up adult (the checks in the post), that they perform a decent service.
I used to lay down in the CHAIR OF TERROR (tm) where our friendly Dr. De'Ath would say "Aaaaaah, Weetabix/Frosties/Alpen this morning young Prescott". I was regularly amazed that he knew what brand of cereal I had even though I had brushed hard and it was 4pm.
Fast forward. Same dentist, my kids. He asks me what they had. And I tell him.

I like thisIt's remarkably devious. I'll have to remember this, should I ever befriend a dentist.
