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."

Another new tradition...My ex-wife is an extreme worrier. Especially when it coes to travel- it takes almost nothing to freak her out.
Turns out that when I was taking the kids on the ten hour drive to New York she was convinced that something dreadful was going to happen and that we would all be killed. So my middle kid hears this and says, "You know, we need to start telling each other when we leave for a trip, 'Don't die!'"
So when she had them on a trip that involved air travel, I spoke to the kids just before they got on the plane, and told my oldest to tell his brother that I said "Don't die." He relayed this message, which prompted a torrent of obscenities from their mother as she was fighting down the panic prior to flying.
And thus a new tradition was born. And she still doesn't think it's funny in the slightest.
