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?

Fuck family rituals. The remainder of my familyare 6,000 miles away.
My "new family" are the friends I've had for the last 10 years.
Tuesday - lasagne night. Same place, every week. The house soup is ALWAYS Minestrone.
I walk into the bar every night I got in, to be greeted with "Helloooooooo, how are you" in fake English accents. To the extent that I can go in when the other guys aren't around and be greeted by that anyway.
Thanksgiving and Christmas this year will be fun. First time without the husband (six years of tradition), first time alone without a phone call from mum.
Woo!
