María Andrés Montecatini's anecdote

When I was 6 years old I loved to go to the beach with my family to spend the day there. My mother constantly reminded me to apply cream on, but I went to play with my sister and forgot about it, so when I returned with my parents I was totally burnt. Nowadays I never go without high protection!

"Live from New York, it's Saturday Night!"

Maria Simo' anecdote.

When I was a child (6-year-old) me and my family travelled to Paris. When we went to visit the Eiffel Tower my parents took off their eyes of me and my brother (4 year-old at the moment) one minute because they wanted to enjoy the view of Paris. Then, my "lovely" brother pushed me into an elevator... it rised to the top of the tower! In that time I was scared of the high altitudes. What a horror day!

PS: Now I love high altitudes and Paris, but my brother still does his "funny" jokes.
