The Wishbone

After waiting a week or two, I got to introduce Eva to yet another American Tradition: the pulling of the wishbone. After carefully letting the wishbone dry out, I explained the rules...leaving out the strategy of "the pull" in hopes that I could win somehow. After all, I had years of experience.





Despite my efforts, the result was as follows:

The middle part was literally hanging by a thread of skin. Eva won and got to make her wish. So much for strategy and experience!

I can't say that I've ever seen a wishbone break like this...I guess I didn't let it dry out long enough.
