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?

My familyare a bit daft, my mum in particular.
Her new favourite thing is to use a made up word to describe every inanimate object. For instance, whilst watching TV the other day, she asked my brother to "pass the oojie boojie" - what she really meant was remote control.
On holiday, she often doesn't sleep very well and it's always muggins here who has to share a room with her. I invariably get asked if I'm awake, and then she starts playing things like I Spy in order to pass the time instead of actually trying to go to sleep - often she ends up playing with herself (no pun intended) as I pretend to be asleep and ignore the childish babble.
