Because being tired is a good excuse

I am sitting in my bed. Shannon comes home for the first time today at 10PM and we are exchanging niceties about our days.

Bird: I finished my research paper.
Shannon: What's it about?
B: Christian Science, New Thought, and Women's Leadership
S: I want to fall over. I should go to bed.
B: Yes, bed first. You can recruit some in the morning.

-----> Moment of confusion<-----------

S: Fall over?
B: Oooh, fall over. I thought you said follower.
S: No, fall over. Like I'm really tired and I'd like to just fall over and go to sleep but I should probably actually go to bed.
B: Oh, yeah. I thought you said follower because I said something about women's leadership and that made sense...

As things go, this was a very logical mishearing exchange. They only get better.
