Is my question grammatically correct ?

Why did Michael say about his figuring in this context?

I know we can't use "figuring" as possession here. please help me.


Context: Michael is talking to Sheila.

Sheila: I feeling sick.

Michael: I just figured that Earth is a flat.

Michael: I just figured that Earth is a flat. Those are both wrong, and the response is a non sequitur. Sheila: I'm feeling sick.
