I wish I had more of them. Let me explain. Traditionally, a "senile moment" is when someone forgets an obvious fact or a train of thought. For example: Where are my car keys? Oh dearie me, they're in my hands!
I am now redefining senile moments as the following: when a younger person has a brief moment of insight beyond their years.
I have very few of these senile moments. Even the few that I think I have, my delusional brain probably made them up. I'll be momentarily convinced that my superbly mature brain is much too sophisticated and wise to be stuck in a seventeen-year-old body in a seventeen-year-old world. Of course, this is hardly ever true, but thank goodness teenage angst is only temporary.
I'd like to think that this post is a senile moment. It's probably not, but I suppose it's a worthy effort anyway.

I've been having senior moments all week, but it's because I hurt my back and have been hobbling around campus.
