KURTIS THE STOCK BOY MEETS BRENDA THE CHECKOUT GIRL

In a supermarket, Kurtis the stock boy, was busily working when a new voicecame over the loud speaker asking for a carry out. Kurtis was almost finished, and wanted to get some fresh air, and decided to answer the call.

As he approached the check-out stand the checkout girl caught his eye. She was an older woman (maybe 26, and he was 22). Later that day, after his shift was over, Kurtis 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, heasked 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 ababy-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 againnot taking no for an answer, he pressed.

Finally Brenda, brought him insideto meet her children. She had an older daughter, 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 withus?"

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. 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 ofthe evening, Brenda knew this was the man she was going to marry and spendthe 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, and Kurt Warner will be the starting quarterback of the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
