I've been teaching English for 20 odd years and the same thing still happens to me.
What I often do is ask them to think of examples themselves, or like you, pick up the topic again in the next lesson. Even set it as an assignment for the next day: 'Let's see how many examples you can find on the net, guys'.
We are just human, but so much more entertaining, lovable and imaginative than a perfectly knowledgeable teacher-robot would be.
Or so I tell myself...
