Back in the 2000, I remember that adventure we had in the time machine. It's a summer day day and I decide to go for a walk. While I am walking I meet my grandma: "Hi, granny, can you lend me that mini skirt, you know, that one of the 60's?" I ask quickly, "I'm sorry darling, I lost it a long time ago, don't you remember?" I nod my head "I've wanted that miniskirt since I was 3!"
So, my granny tells me that she has another time-machine and she takes me to her house. We go to the attic and there was a very big and strange clock with a door. We enter through the clock's door. Inside there were a lot of colour buttons and a big screen where we wrote the year 1960. Suddenly everything is a blur and a few minutes later I fee; fine again. We walk outside and we are in 1960.
The first thing I want to do is to buy the miniskirt. I am surprised because the clothes are really cheap. I buy shoes that are very colorful, shirts with flowers, short dresses, long socks, leather jackets, blue jeans and synthetic sweaters, too. While we are drinking chocolate milk my granny says: "It's time to go home, darling", I am sad but I go with her. It's a pity to come back but......
