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?

Just for dogsI thought that the sugar they put on tables in cafes was just for dogs. Thought it so surely, in fact, that I argued my way into a hysterical fit with a friend after telling him not to eat it when I was about five.
Curse you parents, why must you lie to us so?
