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."

Traditionally...To me, anyting's "tradition" if it happends three years in a row...
As a kid, Monday was always steak night and Thursday was always fried chicken or spagetti night (the leftover chicken/spagetti would be my school lunch, you see).
When my friend Bonnie spends the night at my apartment, her car gets towed away (unauthorized parking spaces; car accident). We were trying to start a tradition of a Halloween horror-movie night, followed the next night by a freaky maze fest.
When I went to Disneyland with my friend Kelli and her family, the first ride we'd always go on was Star Tours. Also, when at a big theme park I'd usually get lost for a while (this hasn't happened recently, thank goodness).
When I go to a cousin's wedding, my dad gets sick or hurt and I get into a small fight with my parents right before the ceremony.
NOT watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade and NOT watching the Rose Parade on New Year's day.
NOT getting to church on time on New Year's day (we actually got there on time this year; I was shocked).
