As a kid me mam always saved the wishbone from the chicken or turkey, we use to put wrap our little finger each round the bone. pull it and the one who got most of the bone got to make a wish. But you couln't tell anyone or it wouldn't come true. Weird daughter just grabbed the wishbone and done it with me, starnge how these things are passed down generation to generation.lol. Is this a northern thing or does anyone do it. catherine xx |
