I made a turkey last Monday and saved the wishbone. After it dried for a couple days, I let the kids "wish" on it.
As you can see, Troy got the 'wish'. (He's the lucky one in our family!) Trent was disappointed that he didn't get the bigger piece, so he promptly called G-ma to see if she would save the wishbone for him out of her turkey! She agreed.......

The Thanksgiving ritual of two children making a wish while holding opposite sides of a V-shaped turkey bone and breaking the bone apart may be rooted in ancient history.
The wish of the child getting "the lucky break" (resulting in that child holding the longer piece of bone) is predicted to come true. The loser - who gets "a bad break" - suffers the disappointment of a shattered wish.
