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've got the dreaded chin scarI tripped and chinned a radiator when I was a kid and had to go to hospital. Got a certificate for being brave though! Also got a slight Harry Potter scar across the forehead where I fell off a windowsill.
I was a clumsy child.

good friend of mineGot a fab chin scar, a year or so back, from riding on of those very modern aluminium scooter things. He thought the hill outside his house would be fun, so buit up some speed, decided it was too fast, and took The Big Step, the one that has the legs rotating a full 360 around the hip socket, exactly once per leg, followed by an olympic standard faceplant onto the tarmac.
He's 47.
