Scenes from Childhood: Skating on Thin Ice
I wonder how many times I heard the warning: “Ginna, you’re skating on thin ice!” This episode explores the joys of getting into trouble.
You’ll hear:
- John Waters talking about his favorite game of imagination, “Car Accident”
- A young me threatening to spank a car’s tires, and an older me watching home movies with my parents
- Jean Ritchie on getting a whipping from her father
- My grannie remembering her revenge on her governess
- And o’ so much more
