My parents operated a small restaurant in Seattle．It was open twenty-four hours a day six days a week．And my first real job，when I was six years old，was 36 the diners’ shoes．My father had done it when he was young，so he taught me 37 to do it efficiently，telling me to 38 to re-shine the shoes if the customer wasn’t 39 .

I was 44 paid for the work I did at the restaurant．One day I made the mistake of advising Dad that he 45 give me $10 a week．He said，“OK．How about you paying me for three meals a day you have here? And 46 the times you bring in your friends for free soft drinks?” He 47 I owed him about $40 a week．

I remember returning to Seattle after being 48 in the US Army for about two years ．I had just been promoted to Captain at that time．And full of pride，I walked into my parents’ restaurant，but the 49 thing Dad said was，“How about your 50 up tonight?” I couldn’t 51 my ears! I am an officer in the Army!
