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?

Simple games
my wife tells me of a game she and her siblings used to play whilst being driven across france regulaly during the 70s.
Simple stuff, you scored one point for spotting a frenchman having a piss at the side of the road.
Apparently this amused the three of them for most of a decade until my wifes younger sister won the game outright.
For spotting a frenchwoman having a shit.
On a round-about.

In Austria, too...
Many years ago, I was on a train heading from Munich to Vienna and we passed through a pretty little village.
On the edge of the village, in an open field, there was a woman taking a dump right by the railway line.
Almost two decades later, I can still picture the cheery wave she gave us.
