“Wish I paid more attention during my first rodeo”

“This ain’t my first rodeo” (or “This is not my first rodeo”) is a popular saying. It is an expression that means “I wasn’t born yesterday” (I’m not naive in these matters), and it does not usually refer to an actual rodeo. “Wish I’d paid better/more attention at my first rodeo” is a jocular saying that has been printed on many images.

I got out of shopping with my Mom by buying her a baseball cap that says “This Ain’t My First Rodeo” and a t-shirt saying “I Should Have Paid More Attention During My First Rodeo”.
