Narrative:
I don't believe anyone did anything wrong here, but just another occurrence of pilot-controller miscom. Out of 3000 ft on departure, I switched to departure control frequency. Before I could check-in, the controller called my flight number and cleared us to continue our climb to 10000 ft and turn left to 310 degree heading. I read the clearance back correctly. But, as we climbed out of our original assigned altitude (5000 ft) the controller began to ask our altitude several times.
