Family codes and ritualsFreddy Woo writes, "as a child we used to have a 'whoever cuts doesn't choose the slice' rule with cake. It worked brilliantly, but it's left me completely anal about dividing up food - my wife just takes the piss as I ritually compare all the slice sizes."
What codes and rituals does your family have?

My GranddadScarpe's story reminded me of time I used to spend with my granddad hen I was very young.
I used to go around every Sunday and help out my Granddad in his garden and while we were there he'd let me help prune the trees. It was a great time, he'd put a quarter of orange in his mouth and chase me round the garden!
Great times were had, however, one day he let me have an even bigger responsibility, he let me kill the weeds too! It was ace! After killing the weeds I started chasing him around the garden like I was the monster!
it was Brill!
Till the old grampy Vito Corleone had a heart attack...
I wasn't allowed to chase him no more...
