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?

Paul McCartney's BeardUntil the age of nine I didn't realise there were other things to listen to apart from the Beatles, my dad loves um and is completely obssessed with um circa '63-'65.
Fast forward twenty-odd years and I bought my old man a copy of Abbey Road for Christmas, and some book about the Beatles going to India and getting heavily into drugs and Yoko Ono and all that.
'What do I want with this shit?!?'
Was my dad's way of saying thank you.
I forgot that my old man doesn't actually believe the Beatles did anything after '65.
'It all went to pot when they started messin' about with facial hair.'
Was his explination.
