We usually don't get off topic much but felt this was timely and are proud of our "Iowa Boy".
RE: Checkboy
In a supermarket, Kurtis, the stock boy, was busily working when a new
voice came over the system asking for a carryout at check register 4. As he approached the check-out stand, a smile caught his eye; the new check out girl was beautiful. She was an older woman (maybe 26; he was only 22).
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.
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. He offered
to pay for the baby-sitter. Reluctantly she accepted his offer for a
date 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
cancelled. To which Kurtis simply said, "Well, lets take the kids with
us."
She tried to explain that taking the children was not an option, but he
wouldn't take 'no' for an answer. Finally, Brenda, brought him inside to meet her children. She had a cute older daughter. Then Brenda brought out her son, in a wheelchair. He was born a paraplegic, with Down Syndrome. Kurtis told 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 was disabled. Her prior husband, the father of the
kids, had done that.
That evening Kurtis and Brenda loaded up the kids and went to dinner and the movies. When her son needed anything, Kurtis took care of him. When he needed to use the rest room, Kurtis picked him up out of his chair.
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 the stock boy and check out girl?
Mr. & Mrs. Kurt Warner now live in St. Louis, where he plays quarterback for the St. Louis Rams. Kurt won the NFL MVP award this year.
He'll be playing Sunday in the Super Bowl against the New England
Patriots.
