Here's how it works, in case you've never done this.
You take the wishbone from the chicken or turkey and hold it in your thumb and forefinger. Someone else holds the other half. You close your eyes and pull it apart. Whomever holds the larger part gets his wish.
The fun part is eating the meat around the wishbone; that's the best part of a bird. It's like the breast, only better. And if you can fry it apart from the breast, you get this really crunchy morsel that is just heavenly.
When I won, I always wished for more chickens.
