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 ( well he already did it ) 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.

I guess being a stock boy didn't really work out for him. Too bad. Great story Bunny.

Great story but untrue (well most of it is). BUT the REAL STORY is even better. I had forwarded this to a friend and she sent back a corrected version according to "Snopes". Read this and it is good.

Living here in St. Louis I had NEVER thought that I would be rooting for a "Bidwell" owned team. Boy this year I am. All because of Kurt Warner. He still is a loved Quarterback here. It's a shame he never got to be with some better teams. When he was here in St. Louis (we sucked prior and since) we had a piss-poor defense. Went to the Giants when they were down and was brought in to be a mentor to Eli and they were an under-acheiver team then and then went to Arizona (don't need to say anything here). Not downing Pittsbugh because I like their team but am rooting for Arizona and hoping they win which should help insure Kurt Warner into the "Hall of Fame"

I think the cards will win.
I'm wrong about 90% of the time. but ONLY when it comes to football picks.
This is one of the few Superbowls I can remember being interested in....although after the firs 30 commercials, my interest level will cease to exist.
Yes, seems like people either love or hate Warner, personally, he seems like a hard guy not to root for, unless of course you're a squeeler fan. I think Pittsburgh outmans them from top to bottom but I give the coaching edge to Whizzenhut.
