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, and decided to answer the call.
As he approached the check-out stand 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.
Next day, he waited outside as she left the supermarket,
and offered her a ride home.
He looked harmless enough, and 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, then Brenda brought out her son, in a
wheelchair.
He was a paraplegic. 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 loved 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 5 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
National Football League Arizona Cardinals and has his
Cardinals on the way to the Super Bowl. Is this a surprise
ending or could you have guessed that he was not an ordinary
person.
It should be noted that he also quarterbacked the Rams in
two Super Bowls and was voted NFL MVP twice. |
