Toby's favorite thing when we cook a whole chicken is to break the wishbone with someone. Lately it seems we've been cooking a chicken a week and he gets pretty excited when he sees what we're cooking. He says: Is that a whole chicken? "Yes." Can I do the wishbone? (Usually this conversation takes place before the chicken is even in the oven.)
We just broke the wishbone from a chicken we had on Tuesday. I got the bigger piece. If this had happened a few weeks ago Toby would have crumpled to the floor and cried. But today he says "You won because I used all my might and you used all your might." I'm not debating the accuracy of that statement (truly, I try to let him win), but it did get me thinking when do I use all my might? And, more extrinsically, what use does a four year old have for the word might?
