1. I slipped on black ice while running and thought duct tape would be an acceptable bandaid.

2. Playing kickball in 3rd grade, I tripped over the ball and smacked into the pavement. The doc said I was lucky I didn’t break anything.

6. Riding my bike in a gravel parking lot of a church on Sunday morning. I crashed and had chunks of gravel in my knee. I had to walk home.

7. Got up to switch the light on and walked into the side/corner of an open desk drawer.

8. I was swimming in a lake and my leg brushed against a zebra mussel shell on a pylon. My aunt asked if I wanted to go to the hospital. I said nah.

9. I crashed into someone while snowboarding and their board sliced through my pants into my knee.

10. Rolled a 4-wheel ATV on loose gravel. It’s also how I got the scar on my chin.

11. I brushed past a cardboard box and somehow slashed my knee open on one of the corners.

12. Shark jaw. It’s not as bad as it sounds! When I was like 7, a friend was showing me a shark jaw that her dad had. She left it on the bed and it got covered in blankets. We started playing tag and the bed was the safe zone, so I was running away from her and jumped on the bed and got a nice big gash on my knee.

13. Sliding into 3rd base

14. I currently have a lot of minor cuts on my knee because my cats like to grip my knees for stability when petting.

15. Scraped my knee against a trimmed zip tie while kneeling to clean a guinea pig cage. Was wearing shorts. Now have a 2 inch scar across the top of my kneecap. It got me good.

20. I was attacked by a man and pushed to the ground when I was younger. My knee still has the scars and clicks to this day.

21. One is from shaving, the two round scars right in the center of both of my knees are from rollerblading. Fell on my face hard and had big crusts that didn’t heal well.

22. A gnarly gash sliding into home plate when I was 14. Followed by a bloody cycle & softball season of said gash scabbing over, only to re-open the next time I had to get down n dirty.
