KURTIS THE STOCK BOY AND BRENDA THE CHECKOUT GIRL......
In a supermarket, Kurtis the stock boy was busily working when a new voice
came over the loud speaker asking for a carry out at register 4. Kurtis was
almost finished and wanted to get some fresh air, so decided to answer the
call. As he approached the check-out, a distant smile caught his eye. The
new check-out girl was beautiful. She was an older woman (maybe 26, and he
was only 22) and he fell in love.
Later that day, after his shift was over, he waited by the punch clock to
find out her name. She came into the break room, smiled softly at him, took
her card and punched out, then left. He looked at her card: BRENDA. He
walked out only to see her start walking up the road.
The next day, he waited outside as she left the supermarket and offered her
a ride home. He looked harmless enough, so she accepted. When he dropped
her off, he asked if maybe he could see her again, outside of work. She
simply said it wasn't possible. He pressed and she explained she had two
children and she couldn't afford a baby-sitter, so he offered to pay for the
baby-sitter. Reluctantly she accepted his offer for a date for the
following Saturday.
That Saturday night he arrived at her door only to have her tell him that
she was unable to go with him. The baby-sitter had called and canceled to
which Kurtis simply said, "Well, let's take the kids with us." She tried to
explain that taking the children was not an option, but again not taking no
for an answer, he pressed. Finally Brenda brought him inside to meet her
children.
She had an older daughter who was just as cute as a bug, Kurtis thought, and
then Brenda brought out her son -- in a wheelchair. He was born a
paraplegic with Down Syndrome. Kurtis asked Brenda, "I still don't
understand why the kids can't come with us?" Brenda was amazed. Most men
would run away from a woman with two kids, especially if one had
disabilities - just like her first husband and father of her children had
done. Kurtis was not ordinary -- he had a different mindset.
That evening Kurtis and Brenda loaded up the kids, went to dinner and the
movies. When her son needed anything Kurtis would take care of him. When he
needed to use the restroom, he picked him up out of his wheelchair, took him
and brought him back. The kids fell in love with Kurtis. At the end of the
evening, Brenda knew this was the man she was going to marry and spend the
rest of her life with.
A year later, they were married and Kurtis adopted both of her children.
Since then they have added two more kids.
So what happened to Kurtis the stock boy and Brenda the check-out girl?
Well, Mr. & Mrs. Kurt Warner now live in Arizona, where he is currently
employed as the quarterback of the NFL's Arizona Cardinals, and he and the
Cardinals will appear in Super Bowl XLIII on February 1.
