Its not normal: knee caps can have a small amount of movement. Side toside. They should not slip out of the groove in which they rest. If there is pain. With motion, you may have a muscle imbalance or an abnormal condition. You should be evaluated and possibly be xrayes. Simple issues can be treated. With physical therapy exercises.
