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?

A fair few years agoWhen I used to live in the middle of Scotland (near Perth, to be exact) there were a fair few empty backroads on the drive back to our village.
We'd been to see a rally a few weeks before, thus culminating in me and my dad reinacting rally driving on these back roads (me shouting things like "90 turn 100 yards" etc, him cutting all the corners and driving pretty fast).
We kept this up for a while until we realised it had hit it's peak.
Going airborne over a hill in an old Mazda 323 is not a very wise thing
To save the suspension another battering, he went back to the old trick of swerving wildly everytime we were driving down a perfectly straight road.
Sometimes I wonder whether it's worth me learning to drive as I know i'll do exactly the same......oh dear
