I have borrowed from a piece I wrote called THE WISHBONE COLLECTION - which I will release at some point in the future. Until then, please know that this collection.....exists.

So it was with great happiness that I found my collection of wishbones (see photo) and now I have to decide where I will keep it. Notice there is no wiggle room here - I have made a decision to hold on to this crazy bunch of bones.
I try to balance by weeding through a whole box today - the papers discarded were difficult, but I consider that by throwing away a box, I could allow myself the luxury of holding on to.....the dessicated chicken bones.
The big question now is....what will I wish for? I don't want to waste even one, so I very carefully decide that I will mentally pull the bones. If I do both sides - I cannot lose. I am wishing for......a straightened up driveway and house. Without all the junk. Maybe I should pull a wishbone for real.....maybe it will help.....if I throw out the pieces of bones afterwards...... only this time, I'm not gonna tell what I'm wishing for!

Why
would someone start a wishbone collection? Better question - why would I start a wishbone collection.
Very
simple. To make sure that, in the case of an emergency, when one needed
all the luck you could get, I would have enough wishbones to use so that,
whatever I was wishing for, would absolutely, most certainly, have to come
true.
Kind of like cultivating a patch of four-leaf clovers,
only better. Plus the wishbones do not rot away between the pages of
books. Bones last for centuries - hence the stored up luck would
also hold. At least, that was my theory.So it was with great happiness that I found my collection of wishbones (see photo) and now I have to decide where I will keep it. Notice there is no wiggle room here - I have made a decision to hold on to this crazy bunch of bones.
