"Rank" conversation

Payton and I had the following conversation yesterday.

Payton: "Mom, are you a deputy sheriff?"

Me: "Yes."

Payton: " Nuh-uh. You're a lieutenant."

Me: "I'm both. Everyone starts out as deputy. Then if you do a good job as a deputy, you might get promoted to corporal. If you do a good job as corporal, you might get promoted to sergeant. If you do a good job as sergeant, you might get promoted to lieutenant. If you do a good job as lieutenant, you might get promoted to captain."

Payton: "You keep trying hard, Mom. You'll get to captain someday."

This was said with a totally serious tone, completely straight face. What a funny kid! Hopefully he's psychic.
