With a beer in my hand, I padded into the living room with Henry.

"Hold this a second, would ya?" He started to hand over his beer but changed his mind. "Nevermind. I'll just sit it on the table. I dunno why I..." He shook his head. "I sound like one o' those rednecks who ask their wives ta hold their beer b'fore they do somethin' stupid." He made a face like he was mentally challenged. "Hooold maaah beeeer, baabehhh."

I snorted with laughter. Henry smirked and set his beer on the coffee table.

"Ain't never heard ya snort b'fore. That's kinda cute," he said, his eyes twinkling.

"I am kinda like yer wife," I pointed out. "I would o' held it fer ya."

"Ya are gonna be my wife one day," Henry corrected on his way over to the VCR.

The TV screen lit up and the movie began to play. Standing, he strolled over to the couch, sat beside me, and placed the VCR remote on the coffee table. Picking up his beer, he gulped some down and relaxed into the couch cushions.
