| | KURT THE STOCK BOY AND BRENDA THE CHECKOUT GIRL
In a supermarket, Kurt the stock boy, was busily working when a new voice came over the loud speaker asking for
a carry out at register 4. Kurt 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 Kurt 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, Kurt thought, then Brenda brought out her son, in a wheelchair.
He was born a paraplegic with Down Syndrome.
Kurt 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. Kurt was not ordinary - - - he had a different mindset.
That evening Kurt and Brenda loaded up the kids, went to dinner and the movies. When her son needed anything
Kurt 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 Kurt. 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 Kurt adopted both of her children.
Since then they have added two more kids.
So what happened to Kurt 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 is going to the 2009 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.
"NFL experts have been trying to figure out the secret to my success in the NFL. For me, it's easy and really
has little to do with football. First things first-faith & family- that is the formula for success. Brenda and
I are living proof of the importance of having strong faith in God, in yourself and in your talents." Kurt
