Kurtis the stock boy
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 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 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 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 National Football League Arizona
Cardinals and has
his
Cardinals in the hunt for a possible appearance in 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 Super Bowl
XXXVI. He has also been the NLF's Most Valuable Player twice
and the Super Bowl's
Most Valuable Player. (c)
