Family codes and rituals
Freddy 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?

Cats
Here was the morning cat ritual we had for years:
- The cats wake me up by standing on my chest and meowing
- I get up and let the cats out of my room
- The cats run into my parents' room and wake them up
- I go downstairs to get some breakfast and the cats follow me, always nearly running me over on the stair
- I sit down for breakfast and my parents come down
- Fat Girl sits in the chair next to me and my dad lets Zorro out the back door
- Fat Girl howls until I start patting her back. Then she bites my hands - She liked it, because she was purring, but she would bite. We called her the "Mad Patter."
Every single morning.
