Does your family have any weird traditions?

Yes.

When I was about 3-4 years old, my older brother who was 7 at the time, got a cat. The cat was female and he named her Percy, believing Percy was a female's name. As we got older, we realized the mistake but... What are you going to do... Besides keep doing the same thing in order to make fun of said brother All six of us kids are cat people and all of us have since only gotten female cats and given them male names. It has even gone onto the next generation with my nieces and nephews now having their own kids and keeping it going.
