Have you had a senior moment lately?

[janeyo]

Does senior count if you are under 35?
I blame mine on my blond hightlights and a mummy brain lol.

I am not admitting anything.......!!!!

OK all you young smart arses, why is it a senior moment? Why not an Abby moment or a Zazen moment or a Spangles moment?

Hey - I'm not young! I'm 42 this year.

My God!!!That's senior alright!!!I think a Zazen moment has quite a ring to it!!!
Me???Post belongs in the fridge doesn't it?

OH asked me for a cup and it was dog's dinner time so I picked the dog's dish and started making the coffee....
Everything else is being put away into the fridge-coffee,tea,scissors,knives...
More often I talk rubbish,I always use"this is my 2nd language" excuse.The examples:"I'm going to the milk to get some shop",or going to the washing machine(meant cash machine)
Won't say how old I'm cause I'm embarrassed enough.My friends and neighbours find it quite funny,although it takes them a while sometimes to understand me...

I could give you the long answer but you know how we oldies ramble on, so I'll give the short answer --- yes.

I'm not sure who first coined the phrase but I'm willing to bet it was a 'senior' - let's face it, if a young whipersnapper first said it, they'd have called it 'old fogey moment' (or worse).

Do you think it was the youngsters and they were being polite and really meant senile moment but thought they'd humour those of us of more advanced years?!

I qualified for my bus pass in May. My senior moment? I took a day off and travelled the Isle of Wight for free, just because I could so there, mlaa (sticking out tongue there!)

Like I always say, it's no good getting old if you don't get crafty!

[HeyWayne]

I did something daft the other day, but for the life of me can't remember what it was. I do recall that it struck me as odd at the time.

Does that count as double?

[Glutton4...]

So refreshing to know I'm in such good company LOL!

My most regular stupid thing is 'blipping' the car remote at the house door and wondering why it won't unlock!

[Hilary B]

I'm still not admitting anything<g>

[lizzylemon]

So nice to know we're all in it together eh!!

I don't believe in the Senior title nor Baby brain, I've been doing it from a young age and way before the Bambina came along.....Scatter Braining is the name in our house.

I also speak 'Scatter' on a regular basis, - sometimes I add bits of sayings together to make a new saying, or I get a letter in two words swapped round to make new words (spoonerism is the recognised term for letter swapping I believe) or sometimes I just get it plain wrong. At work once, I meant to say "it was lovely to meet you etc" and just shouted out LOVELY! instead and another time I was talking about Parana's, and saying most were actually vegetarians but said they were VEGETABLES. It took ages to live that one down. Luckily I love being 'Unique' and I'm sure you do too......

That's just Tourettes surely?

I have, on occasion, found the kettle wedged into the fridge door shelf.... and I'm not yet 30....

Actually, I lose my glasses, keys and shoes on a daily basis, and spend loads of time looking for the aforementioned items. I've also put the post into the toaster (but not turned it on) and at least once a week put tea in the oven without turning the oven on....

You could be right there.
