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?

There were riots every year.

And the tin was the size of a cushionSame here. And then the fights would begin over who got the caramel barrel. Within three days all the good ones would be gone but we'd still spend ages sifting through the remainder hoping to find a toffee stick or some other gem.
