Family codes and rituals
Freddy 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?

Thank goodness
I think the best design aspect of humans is the way we're made out of rubber and fuck all steel as kids.
Just last week I was jumping on the trampoline with my young cousin - he did a bad bounce, landed in a way that would have twisted my joints sideways forever, bounced up and then down onto the metal rim, flipped around it and slammed into the ground head first.
Time stopped for me, I was sure he was never gonna move again .... but hell no, stood up smiling, climbed back on and started bouncing again even higher - I don't think he even realized he was supposed to be hurt...
If I did that I'd be guiding the wheel chair with my tongue for the rest of my days =P
Kids are awesome.
