I can sit with my legs crossed at the ankle just fine. But I'll be damned if i can cross them at the knee...when I was younger(in my teens in the last century) I could. If I'm leaning back I can, but not sitting up straight. My wife and I go out on the patio and she crosses her just fine (I know she built differently and can...damn cromosome messing with me). Any suggestions, comments or funny comments would be greatly appreciated.
