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?

FoodDad and I used to argue over who had the crust from the end of the loaf with dinner, and it ended up with us hiding it. One day I took both crusts out of a new loaf and hid them in a cupboard, other times Mum put them on the table, and I either took a bite out of it or licked it, whilst Dad was watching.
We also used to fight over the blue wrapped penguin biscuits for lunchtime. Never any other colour, just blue.
So when I had sandwiches made from 2 crusts, and 2 blue penguins, he went into a full on sulk.
Sad but true....
