Riddle

My Mom joined a group of old people discussing something, this morning. One old lady told the others to solve the riddle, “If children keep getting promoted during childhood, they get demoted during youth.”

Mom knew the answer and replied… Naaah. The reply will be given in the next post. In the meantime, if there are any brilliant people around, who can solve the riddle, can reply, either on the social media or directly as a comment under this post.
