Doris Day expressed this fear when she said, ?the really frightening thing about middle age is the knowledge that you'll grow out of it.” Forget me knot A familiar condition of middle age is to be struck by amnesia and deja-vu simultaneously, in which case you will have the uncomfortable feeling that you have forgotten the same thing before.
