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?

Christmas eveMty grandad did it, my father did it and now I do it:
on Christmas eve, I knock off work half-day, go the pub and get absolutely hammered. I then go to my mums, spend a couple of hours sleeping it off, before toddling to wherever me and the wife are having dinner - fissed as a part still.
The only difference in the radition between me and my dad is that my nan always gave him back the change that fell out of his pockets while he was asleep on the sofa, my mum keeps it.
