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?

When we used to go on holiday....Usually to Devon, we used to play 'first one to see the sea'. Bet you cant guess what the aim of the game was! The winner didnt have to do the washing up that night like we all had to at home, but wait, we were on holiday, no one had to do the washing up any way because we ate out!
Also, Sunday dinners we had the ritual 'swap what you dont like' game. I love parsnip, no one else does,my sis loves sprouts but no one else does,my bro likes stuffing but no one else does, so we all used to swap, why my Mom didnt just put what we liked on our plates I dont know!
