Family codes and rituals
Freddy 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?

Light Ritual
I really have no idea why/when this began.
We have 3 light switches outside of our living room (living room, upstairs & passage), if anyone switches the wrong one whilst heading upstairs and knocks the living room light off it's a ritual to go "wooOOOOOoooo!" in a sort of ghostly way.
We've started doing this at other homes when the light goes off and on for any reason. It's now so natural I didn't think twice about doing it when at a clients and sitting still enough so the automatic lights knocked off.
I don't think I'm allowed out of the office anymore.
