...Stethoscope?

So, this happened to me not too long ago... it was embarrassing, but funny. XD

There were two guys who came to fix our oven about a month or so ago, and they wore masks and everything. I, being the eldest at home, let them in and showed them the oven. I then sat down and did my schoolwork.

A little while later one guy asked me if we have a stepstool. I, not understanding what he had said, stared at the air, and thought.... then I asked, “A.... stethoscope?”

He laughs, along with the other guy, and says slower and more clearly, “A stepstool.” I heard it more clearly that time, and hurried to find one. I sat back down, so embarrased.

My sister had been holding back her laughter and later asked, “Why would they have needed a stethoscope?!?!”

We all make mistakes, right? XD
