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."

Catnip Christmas CardOne Xmas when my cat Tara was a kitten, I received a cheesy, musical Xmas card. It played an annoying medley of Jingle Bells, Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, We Wish You A Merry...and so on. Every time I opened the card and it played, she would meow, head-butt me and the card, tilt her head and proceed to roll around, stretch, purr, etc. She's 13 now and it still has the same effect on her. Tonight I sat on my bed with her and played it. It's so goddam cute, I giggle, sing 'nee-nee-nee' and pet her while she's spazzing out. Pathetic but fun for all. (I replace the battery in this electronic card every other year or so.)
Note: Similar happy effect when you just sing to her. Also loves boppy 50's music, runs laps around the house.
