THE JUNIOR MOMENT

We all use the ever popular "Senior Moment" to describe an older person forgetting something (particularly as in losing his train of thought smack in the middle of talking). When this happens younger listeners often look knowingly at one another and smirk out a patronizing "had a senior moment, did ya?" Well, how about introducing the concept of the "Junior Moment." This could be the instance when a mature individual has provided a younger person with some life lesson advice, which the younger person has ignored and then when the younger person subsequently falls prey to the thing about which he was warned, claims (in order to avoid an "I told you so") that he was never warned. In this instance, observing seniors could look knowingly at one another and smirk out a patronizing "having a junior moment, are ya?"
