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,
&nb sp; 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 aga in not
taking no for an answer, he pressed. Finally Brenda, brought him inside to meet
her children. She had an older daughter Jessie, who was just as cute as a bug, Kurtis
thought, then Brenda brought out her son, Zachary 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 no t 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 Jessie and Zachary.
; Since then Brenda and Kurtis have added five children of their own: sons
Elijah and Kade, daughter Jada, and twin girls Sierra Rose and Sienna Rae.
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.
Both Brenda and Kurt are active born-again Christians.
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.

After reading this I became a Kurt Warner. I also have the fact that I was born phoenix Arizona on my side. Now I am not saying I am going to be a Cardinals fan from now on but for this super bowl I was. So as the clock drew close to halftime I was getting rather excited. As the score was sitting at 10-7 Stealers I was on the edge of my seat and ready to cheer as I watched Kurt Throw another touchdown. Than it came... Harrison with an interception for a 100 yard return. To some was a great historic super bowl play, I saw the team I was rooting for going down in flames.
The third brought no good signs with the only score coming from the stealers. Now The Cardinals could have made history in the 4th if they had come back. No team in Super Bowl history has come back from more than 10 points. Unfortunately even with 16 points in the 4th the Cardinals scored their last touchdown about a minute early.
Although I did not like the outcome of the game I still thought it was alright. Not as good as last years though but still something fun to watch. If Kurt does come back next year I will definitely watch him a little closer now. But if he does not return to the game I am sure he will continue giving back to the troops and to charities everywhere. I hope you enjoyed the game it was definitely a thriller in the end.
