I was describing tropes here while you were in kindergarten. For some old people, looking back at their past achievements is not a sign they are over the hill, but a sign that they've been awesome all along, and that the awesome just compounded over the years. This trope comes into play with them saying to younger people that they were doing awesome things when those younger people were too young to do anything great, often in the form of "I was doing X while you were in diapers". Compare When I Was Your Age, Years Too Early. Contrast Glory Days. Examples of While You Were in Diapers include:
