From "When I Knew"

"My father was watching the evening news. The announcer said that Judy Garland had died. I fainted. I was nine." - Andrew Freedman

"When I was ten I would put on my mother's leather evening gloves - they came all the way up to my elbows. I would sing "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend" into the mirror. One day my mother walked in and caught me mid-song - I tried to cover, screaming out "To the Bat Cave, Robin!" - Michael Frank
