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?

Eddie Stobart gameWhenever we go on the motorway, we HAVE to play the spot-the-stobart-game. It's crap. I've tried explaining there's no skill and it's pure luck, but being the girl, no one listens. And you HAVE to play.
"You don't want minus one now, do you, clap?"

eddie on the hill!I used to go to school with the m25 in the distance... the eddie on the hill cry would often go up in class... the most memorable was the 'once per 7 years' entire school photo... Everyone is laughing/smiling as just before the pic was taken, the legendary shout of EDDIE ON THE HIIIIIL! went up!
I still shout it when I see one now...

YESYes, we play this, and even if im by myself tend to play.
I was with a work mate in his car the other day, i was playing in my head, i scored 3. He scored none.
Admitidly he did not know we were playing, but i still won.

We do that too.Although in the traditional Grey family way, its done with little effort and a sound of no interest at all. If we see one, we just say "Eddie". None of us know of why we do this, but for some reason just blurt out, "Eddie" when we see one.
