Nutcracker,
Perhaps it would be like this:
Boudreaux waz a widower an' Clotile waz a widow. Dey bot' lived in de nursing home for a long time. One night de ole folks home had a party an' Boudreaux and Clotile struck up some talk. Before you know eet, Boudreaux axed Clotile to marry heem. She say, "Oh mais ouis, mais ouis", an' after de party dey went back to deir rooms.
De nex' day Boudreaux woke up and he say, "You know dat I don remember if she said yes or no, so I'll call her on de telephone an' tole her dat ma memory is getting' jus' a leetle bad and I can't remember if she say yes or no when I axed her to marry me.
He called her de nex' day jus' like he planned, and she say, "Oh, I said yes, an' ah am so glad dat you called, cause I couldn't remember who axed me.
