This is a question 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?

Sauce
In my family, we'd always have fish & chips on a Friday. My dad, to this day, fills his plate up, and then says 'oh no, I've got no room for my sauce? What shall I do? OH I KNOW, I'll use a SAUCER!' and cracks up.

Every time.

Also, for Christmas and birthdays, my nana would always include hankies & things from Avon (mail-order booklet that sells such treasures as hand cream and talcum powder) in whatever gifts she gave. After she passed away, my auntie found a stash of them in her belongings, and the next Christmas we all got a lucky dip of an Avon product, as well as a hanky embroidered with our initials. It was quite cute actually :)

We also always wear our stupid cracker hats until they fall off or tear on Christmas day, and my long-haired Jesus-resembling cousin has to cut the meat, just because it's funny :D

Jesus
Didn't have long hair. No matter what Renaissance artists and holy pieces of toast want you to believe.
