This is a question 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?

Knobby
Since we moved to our house in June, my bf and I have a silly bedtiems thing where one of us will take the knob off the upstairs banister and put it on/under the other one's pillow without them realising til they get into bed. It never fails to raise a giggle as we are actually 5. His name is Knobby the Knob and is referred to as such, or Knobby for short.

We also have family traditions at Christmas that are fairly run of the mill, like keeping hold of craptastic tree decorations from the 70s onwards so we end up with quite an interesting collection on the tree, like deccies through the ages. My mum will always tie a new one to our main present and then we add it to the collection. It always seems to be me who puts the bloody things on the tree though as my brother has the attention span of a gnat and usually does two then buggers off out somewhere.

Oh and fish and chips are "fishychips" and battered sausage is always said in Chinese accent with as few consonants as possible.

And disabled people are always "Timmys", said in a slightly "Timmah" way. I think we're going to Hell...

My housemate
calls battered sausages "Bah sossys" and often uses a Chinese accent to refer to them, usually with a poor sentence structure such as "I be want bah sossy"

Surf and turf is a fishcake and a pukka pie.
