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?

Christmas and other annual cock upsI Cant be the only one who always has arguments with their parents, siblings etcetera every christmas day. Never anything big, just claims of selfishness, laziness and such until someone will refuse to talk to someone else or someone might storm off...
On a side note, me and my sister created our 'own language' when we were little nippers. Looking back, the random sounds me and my sister would randomly use to communicate must have confused, and perhaps worried, those who heard us.

Last ChristmasMy brother and I had a pointless, but furious, argument about whether the Tesco down the road would be an express or a normal one. He swore it was too big for an express, despite it saying in big letters on the planning board TESCO EXPRESS.
My mum took his side and I stropped for ages.
