Weird TraditionsTalking with a friend yesterday about school dinners, she suddenly said, "We had to march into the dining room behind the School Band... except on Thursdays." Since all of us were now staring, she qualified this with, "...on Thursdays there was no wind section. It was a tradition."
What weird stuff have you been made to do "because it's a tradition."

Eggs.My brother-in-law loves eggs, so mum always makes sure that some boiled ones are ready for him when the family descends for tea... Then we all make stupid jokes up "Egg-cellent", "The yolks on you", etc. until we are all in tears with laughter... It's guaranteed to be brought up every time we all get together, so I guess that's tradition. Also, when we were children, if we became a touch rowdy, mum would always say "There will be tears before Bedtime" - I still think it applies now we are all over 30 and have kids of our own.
