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?

Mr Maladicta and I are evolving our own traditions.
Usually, these days, when I say something he disagrees with, he glares at me, and slowly points, followed by the cry of "KITCHEN!", mainly because he reads 4chan too much, but also because the first time he did it it was just too funny to not let it become a running joke.
I've tried to retaliate by pointing at him and going "Osuwari!", which is Japanese for "sit", like you say to a dog, but it's not worked so far.
(The first person to understand why I tell him "Osuwari!" will win the internets.)

^ Usually he's already sitting, which kind of renders it pointless.
It's a bit more obscure than that.
He probably wouldn't sit if I told him to anyway ;)

2 and 3 are correct.
He is, however, not Japanese, although he does own a plastic katana.

Dear merciful Jebus
Please say it doesn't have to do with a certain animated series involving a lot of fluff, feudal Japan and a beaded necklace.
