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?

Flip side of this...My uncle told a 9 year old me that the reason a cross is cut into sprouts before cooking them is to kill a small worm that lives inside them. Naturally, I was revulsed! Don't worry says he - I'll eat yours and noone will find out that you haven't eaten 'em. Each Sunday dinner thereafter I gratefully and surripticiously trasferred my sprouts to his plate. He fucking loves sprouts, the lying twat!
