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?

Hmm, sounds like my wife... who I think could and possibly should write the definitive public convenience guide book.
But it's the "Always pee before you leave home" that is most familiar. That must have been hammered home to her when she was a girl, since she never fails to trip off to the toilet before we go anywhere. She gets so anxious about forgetting that she sometimes goes twice. It seems that even the act of thinking "Do I need to go?" invariably invites the answer "Better had", even if you already have.
