Yeah, you're right, that is what I was thinking of. It has been a long time seen the movie. Disregard my post.
Though it doesn't make a lot of since that Obi-Wan and Yoda would just sit by and watch as the two last hopes for the future of the galaxy and the Jedi order aged beyond training ability. In fact, since training begins at such a young age in the PT (how old are those youngling? Five or six? It would have made more since for Obi and Yoda to each take a twin, go their seperate ways and train them, since it wouldn't be a very long wait before they could train them. Then if either were to be discovered, only one potential future Jedi and one Jedi master would be lost. Or if neither were discovered, as the case turned out to be, then two fully and properly trained Jedi Knights could have emerge from hiding and brought down the Sith, rather than one Jedi with very little training who came pretty close to botching it, and the other not even knowing they had the ability to be a Jedi, and no one to train her even if she did.
As you can see, Ben had already given his last line by that point, which was the similar, "Was I any different when you taught me?" which is probably what you're thinking of.

Yeah... damn! I didn't even think about that one before. People have been pointing out for nearly three years the stupid nature of their "plan", but sheesh. The more George adds on to this story, the less sense any of it makes. I remember seeing TPM for the first time and hearing Windu say Anakin was too old, mirroring Yoda's assessment of Luke and going, "Damn, how young do you have to be?!" Apparently an insanely-young continuity-breaking age...
