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?

the cinemamy clan would invariably arrive for any film a good half hour before the trailers even started (to get good seats, apparently). now back in the day, it was more customary for cinemas to have grand old red curtains (particularly at the Canon in Salford Quays). Cue the extra half hour being passed by commenting on how good 'Red Curtains 7' was, with full running commentary of what was happening in the 'movie' for the amusement of my Dad.
If myself or my sister are in a cinema with a red curtain to this day, we keep it alive.
