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 dadoccasionally comes out with the weirdest of things.
One of his favourites is "ME MAM! SHE'S JOINED THE HELL'S ANGELS!"
(His mum - my grandmother - is 87.)
It all came to a head when he blurted this out in her company one day.
The worse thing is that I do it now, too.

I am impressedI was under the obviously misguided assumption that a gang such as the Hell's Angels would be a primarily ageist organisation. I am glad that this is not the case and maybe the Crips would do well to take note as my 89 year old grandfather has been regularly refused membership.
Well done Hell's Angels.
