Vintagetvs: I had many a skinned knee. Later when I was 9 or so, my latest skinned knee needed several stitches. I had skidded off my bike on an evening ride with my friends and I walked the bike back home. I kind of remember going to the local clinic and getting sewed up. I still have that scar on my knee.
The skinned knee!
