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?

Or the arms-race of swear words....how many can you get away with without your mother threatening to send you to bed or, worse still, tell your teacher.

I'm so gladI'm not the only mum who threatens her kids with "I'll tell your teacher". Particularly my youngest, who has the negotiating skills of an old-time union leader, with all the subtlety of Saddam Hussein!
