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?

Post school snack for the masses...At Primary school my mum used to pick me up and would frequently bring a post school snack, which was nice. Whenever consisting of something that could be shared out though I had to stand at the school gates and offer my miniture mates offering them a crisp or whatever it was. Ma would then scowl at any child greedy enough to take more than one of said snack item. I don't really remember when I would be allowed to delve in, but I don't remember ever being upset of having to effectively payout my snacks in this fashion or indeed not being left with any left for myself.
I doubt they would allow this sort of thing these days as they'd probably think my Mum was trying to poison the kids... besides which at 30 I'm probably a bit too old for primary school.
