Girl Child is moving stuff from the soon-to-be-sold ex-homestead to my condo* in preparation for her leaving for the Peace Corps. Moving stuff over the past few days, Daughter Person (DP) brought over a van full of stuff yesterday evening. I’d just returned from a bike ride and was still in my bike shorts. DP stepped out of the van, saw me, and did a double take…
DP: Hey! You’re bowlegged!
GnuKid: Yeah…just a bit…
DP: How long have you been bowlegged?
GK: All my life…how long have you known me?
DP: I just never noticed before now… does it hurt?
GK: Why would it hurt? I’m just a little bit bowlegged and never had an issue.
DP: Wow…I just never observed that before!
No, not a picture of me...and i'm not quite this bowlegged...
Sheesh…she lives with me 22 years–including trips to the beach and summer shorts weather–and just now noticed?
Glad she didn’t try and go into detective work…
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
*It may alter my decor of “Bachelor Eclectic”, but I can live with that. And I’ll find room in the garage for her boxes of stuff.

Can you at least blame it on riding a horse? Or if you’re not that bow-legged, a really wide bicycle? Sometimes we just don’t notice the imperfections of our nearest and dearest, however.

you’ve probably worn baggy “dad” pants in front of her up until now…. they can hide minor bowleggednessary syndrome…

Look on the bright side. You could try out for a part as John Wayne in the next stage production? Naturally talented ;p

A: That’s the last time I’ll do THAT for ten bucks!
