send us your kids anecdotes!!!

do you have kids or know some or just simply remember funny stories from your child hood?
well great get in touch! you see after item 462 interview a group of kids i decided some answers were just to brilliant and too funny to keep to my self. so i have decided i will publish them in a book proceeds will go to make a wish foundation.

I will give you the name's i have decided for each chapter just to give you a clue on the type of material i am looking for, though feel free to send any story that you think deserves a place in the book! those selected will get a name credit in the book (though you can opt out if you don't want it) just send your story to wishesarefree@hotmail.co.uk with the words 'kids say funny things' in the subject bar then after your story or answers to some of the sample questions below just write 'credit and the name you wish to credit'

please keep all material clean and suitable remember it's a book about how kids think, and it's sales are intended to help kids too so think sensibly!
