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."

cemetarymy dad's a keen genealogist (person who traces family history and family trees), when he's not too busy being a doctor. anyway, we used to go to Wales quite a lot to see friends, and on most of the journeys there, we had to pass a churchyard with a load of graves in it ... every single time for the last thirty or more years (i have older siblings who can back me up on this, me being only 18) he's said (and got us to join in with) "that's the church where some of our ancestors are buried" ... kinda like a little mantra, except we only say it once as we go by. being jewish and all, kinda makes you wonder about why our ancestors are buried in a churchyard. :P it seems to be ingrained in me enough anyway, and i reckon when i take future generations past the same church, it'll no doubt end up being said.
