We need a backbone, not a wishbone.

Joyce Meyer
About This Quote

A wishbone is a part of the backbone. It attaches the skeleton to the breastbone. The wishbone helps support the breastbone and help it move. We do not have this part of the backbone, so we are weak when it comes to supporting our own weight.

However, we have wishbones in places where supporting us would be beneficial. One place is our hands, another is our toes. The tips of our fingers are very important because they are where we hold things.
