Ancient Memories

For no particular reason, I recently remembered a conversation I had with my Elementary School Secretary (hereinafter "ESS") at about 9:00 ante-meridian on fine spring day circa 1986.

Iason: "Hi, Ms. ESS. I need a pass."
ESS: "Hi, Iason. Why are you so late for school?"
Iason: "I slept in."
ESS: ". . . You mean you overslept."
Iason (indignant): "No! I slept in, is all!"
ESS: "Uh, oh. Okay. Here's your excused tardiness pass."
Iason: "Thanks!" -trots off to classroom-

Eight-year-old me got them mixed up, but was certain he had it right. Is there a statute of limitations on being mortified?
