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."

Every summer......it became a family tradition that we would be sent to my grandparents' house in Essex for a couple of weeks, where we'd go for endless trips to the beach, the woods and a horrible concrete shopping centre in Basildon.
I didn't realise until I had kids of my own that this was so that my parents could get shot of the little bastards for a fortnight, hold wild parties, get thoroughly pissed and do squelchy bedtime things without fear of interruption in the vinegar strokes.
This, then, is a family tradition that I am keen to prolong.
