When you're having a "teaching moment" with your apprentice, who's been with you for a year, by telling him a story from "back in the day", and he politely informs you that you've already told him the exact same story three times. Ouch!

You tell your protege a story and he politely mentions that your story's timeframe precedes his birth.
