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?

In my family
It's customary for all of us to huddle around a monitor on a Thursday afternoon, repeatedly pressing F5, dying a little of disappointment every time the page refreshes, only to find that the QOTW hasn't changed.

Then we usually put all of our car keys in a punch bowl, and head upstairs. Fingers crossed it's my Mum again tonight, Nana has cold hands.

because she's dead

Ok you got me.
I have just exploded with laughter and alerted a poor cleaner who has just come knocking on my door asking if I am alright.

You are an extremely funny man.

i think this might be the most amusing response
in what has otherwise been a slightly lacklustre QOTW.
(although i've not actually read many posts, so am probably not really in a position to say this.)

You're both far too kind
I can't accept all the credit though, I had battered sausage and chips for my tea.
