How did Forrest describe his legs as when he was a child?

Answer 1

When Forrest was a boy, he had brace's put on his legs to help correct his crooked spine. His Doctor said, "…his legs are strong, as strong as I've ever seen. But his back's as crooked as a politician." When Forrest meets Jenny for the first time and she asks what is wrong with his legs, he says, "My legs are just fine and dandy. My mama says my back's crooked like a question mark. These are gonna make me straight as an arrow."
