Scenes from Childhood: Skating on Thin Ice

Published by Ginna under Audio, Radio Series: Childhood

  • 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

  • My grannie remembering her revenge on her governess
  • And o’ so much more
