Career ladder

A couple days a week, I pick up my grandson, Tommy (age 5). We spend a few hours together, then walk to the bus stop to pick up his sister Vivi (age 7). Today, the conversation was thus:

Tommy: Gram, I don't think you should get a new job. You should keep the job you have.

Me: Well, Tommy, right now, I don't have a job.

Tommy: Yes, you do.

Me: I do?

Tommy: Yeah... keeping an eye on me.

Me: So, you like hanging out with me?

Tommy: yeah.

Me: I like hanging out with you, too, Buddy.

Tommy: They should pay you more.


Me. Yeah.
