Not to make light of your intelligent and helpful discourse, but do you think, Annie, that by any chance you're telling us something we haven't noticed?

I don't know what knock knees look like, but I do know that my knees are not a perfect match. Wrecked my left one at 15 playing baseball. Am 48 now. It has a large bulge toward the other leg, the size of half a softball. Ruined the right one in a joust with a tree on horseback when I was about 23. (the tree won the match) I still ride today with my 20 yr old son as often as I can afford it.
If you & I stood next to each other kitled, I guarantee none would notice your legs. I am not self concious at all. Blank them all !!!

Ah - I was sure that it would have been noticed, but might not have picked up on the fact that it is only the joints which are differently engineered.

I only wanted to give a simple method of checking that knees were properly aligned - and having a junior sized snooker cue to hand I did a quick check before writing it down, just to be sure.

Take up ballet: it will make your extensions look superb!

Personally, 'am unable to discern anything even remotely resembling odd or abnormal. Wear your kilts without fear.

I don't mormally comment on another man's knees. They look normal to me. Maybe you need a new mirror.

Sadly, I do...and the knees are good.

Your knees look perfectly fine. I think it's one of those times when people notice something about their own appearance that no one else does.

Very true !
While checking out some new hose I bought to wear to an upcoming Burns weekend at a Scottish Inn near here, I looked in the mirror and thought how much my, almost 60 year old, knees were getting 'saggy' ! That realization made me wish I could pull the hose up all the way.

Every time I thought about kilting up for the weekend the picture of those saggy knees kept coming to mind.

The morning we were leaving the Inn the owner remarked how much he liked my kilt outfit the night before and with a Scot's accent added that I had, "braw knees".

At first I thought he said I had 'bra knees' and for a split second I got this thought of, how on earth would someone find a bra for sagging knees? Then it hit me what he meant.

I was so fixated on how my knees looked to me that it took a while to sink in that others may not see them the same way....... luckily !!!!
