A wish chip is typically a chip that is folded in half in someway. However some also include 'bubble' chips (those with pockets of air in them) as wish chips. There is a certain way a wish chip must be eaten otherwise the wish is voided; for instance the chip cannot be touched by the thumb and must be picked up between the 'wish fingers' (the middle and index fingers.). Additionally there is some debate as to the process of actually eating the chip; Some rule that the single wish chip must be eaten and swallowed without opening the mouth or alternatively the wish whip must be crushed against the roof of the mouth with the tongue. Overall eating a wish chip in the correct way grants the consumer one wish per chip, that is proven to be highly unlikely to come true.

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
church hurt is where you experience a degree of distance, pain, or judgement from your church community. Essentially, you are just unable to “find your place”. This is prevalent in the Christian community, but can be extended to other religions.
Now that I am an adult I am beginning to heal from the church hurt that was inflicted on me as a child.
