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."

ah, this brings back memorieswhen my sister and i were young, there were many family traditions that, sadly, seem to have stopped through age...
* when going over a cattle-grid, you *must* hold onto your knees. otherwise "your bottom will fall off."
* saturday night was always pizza and garlic bread night.
* at christmas we would drive round in my dad's car looking for blue christmas lights (it was my sisters favorite colour)
* after being picked up by my dad from my gran's, tubular bells had to played (or there would be ructions!)
* no cheese on wednesdays - i STILL have absolutely no idea why...
* tuesdays - swimming with my mum, then off to a cafe for something to eat
* if we ever went abroad on holiday we would have to find an electricity substation for my dad...no, i don't know either (my family are werid)
* boring one, but everyone had to be in the house by 5 on sunday for a 'proper family dinner'. traditional sunday roast. hated it at the time but since we don't do it anymore i really miss it...
