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?

M40 High Wycombe TowerAs a way to keep us kids occupied on the long journey back from Grandma's, or infact any journey that involved going East on the M40 through High Wycombe, Dad would offer 2p for the first person in the car to spot the "tower" (it's some kind of transmission tower near Wycombe) that pops up on the horizon.
The driver will ALWAYS spot it, coz that's where they're looking.
I never got 2p and today, 30 years later, driving back with him after picking up a new Honda Hornet he pointed out "Tower"
"Bastard!" I said.
