Can a five year-old order a hit?

An actual conversation yesterday in the middle of a handwriting lesson

student: "Whoa! Ms Murphy how do you know how to write an E?"
me: "Well, I have had a lot of practice."
student: "Oh."
Pauses...
"Ms. Murphy when you die can I be the leader of the school?"
me: "You mean you want to be a teacher?"
student: "Yeah."
me: "Well, you can be a teacher without me dying."
student: "Huh."
