Superstition says when you get the largest part of the wishbone you get to make a wish.
The long end of the wishbone wins .
you get to choose silly :)
In the UK, only the one left holding the longest piece of the wishbone is allowed one wish. The wishbone is dried in front of the fire overnight, and two people curl their little finger round the wishbone, and pull until it snaps in two. You must never reveal your wish!
Traditionally, the person who gets the longer end of the wishbone is believed to have their wish come true. The longer end is seen as the "winner" in this superstition.
The saying that accompanies breaking the wishbone is that the person who gets the larger piece gets to make a wish. This tradition typically occurs during Thanksgiving, where two people pull on opposite ends of the wishbone until it breaks. The individual with the bigger piece is believed to have their wish granted.
The wish bone is dried and then two people each curl a little finger round the wish bone. They then pull until the wish bone breaks into two pieces. The person who has the largest part of the wish bone, is said to be granted a wish, provided the wish is kept secret.

wishbone
The chicken wishbone, or furcula, is often used in a fun tradition where two people each hold one end and pull it apart. The person with the larger piece is said to have good luck. Afterward, you can discard the wishbone or let it dry and keep it as a memento. Some people also use it in cooking, though it should be removed before serving.
