My memoir has working beginning paragraph...

I found a beginning for my memoir and I wanted it down on paper. Here it goes. I will work with this btw in pieces and try to perfect it as the book comes together.

“As a child I was given paper money and coins and a toy cash register. It was so much fun to play with ringing people up and buying things. It made me realize how neat it was and how much fun it would be to do it later in life. I did not know back then that I had begun to be a retail person at such a young age. Playing with money is not as fun as an adult as a child and running a register in real life is so much more responsibility then it seems as a kid. But yet that fun thing I did with money and coins really installed a love of this and I believe inbred in my desire to make that the type of job I would do later in life for many years to come…”

What do you think? I am working on this and want to perfect it but it came to me while at work the other night how kids today still play with money and coins and registers and how I did the same when I was young and LOVED it! It went along with dolls and the kitchen and stuff. It was there a founding part of my childhood. Who knew it would become my career for many years to come?

That is all for now. Carry on my retail friends till next entry!
