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."

My boyfriend's family...... have a tradition that only aunts and uncles are allowed their elbows to be on the table during dining. I asked if I was allowed to be involved in this tradition on the basis that though I had no brothers or sisters, let alone nieces or nephews, I was going out with an uncle, and should I marry him, I could be considered an aunt. I was shouted down and told to get my filthy non-aunt elbows off the table. That told me.
Oh, and I also drive an old-type Mini, which requires me to laugh insanely when I watch people hitting each other when I pass them by.
