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?

"I saw the landmark first", again... which was for my my sister and I, on long journeys to visit aunts and uncles, was the Ballachulish Bridge.
Flash forwards a decade or two, and we're not in Mum and Dad's old Renault 4, but my old Volvo 340 with my sister driving, a bit of practice on country roads a week or two before her test, and me fiddling with the stereo.
"AAH!" she shouts. "BALLACHULISH BRIDGE I SAW IT FIRST!"

ItsStirling castle/Wallace monument for us, this sounds simple but as the castle appears first so a tense period of about 10 seconds occurs before the walace comes into view.
Sounds crap but after an 8 hour journey in the car even a soggy water biscit would be stimulating!
