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?

graveyard fun?
While driving (or walking) past a graveyard, my sister and I would hold our breaths ``so the ghosts couldn't get in.'' Weird, but understandable when we were 3 and 5, respectively. I'm now 37 and still find myself doing it. First time it happened with my wife behind the wheel, she asked me why the hell i i was apparently trying to make myself pass out. then nearly drove the car into a ditch when i explained.
