The accent was what killed me

Last night in the middle of the night, this conversation took place. Im guessing it was around 4AM.

Me: CC? Hey, CC
CC: Hm
Me: CC... I can't sleep
CC: (without even a hint of hesitation) You ever try counting borregos?
Me: No.
CC: Imagine a fence, with borregos, and everybody's jumping
Me: . . .
CC: snore zzzz

Today I made Red Snapper a la Veracruzana from the Epicurious website and my maid and I bonded and she showed me how to make rice. Im glad that we bonded, but now that she's my new best friend, she got the courage to ask me what she's been wanting to ask me for a month: Can she bring her six month old baby and three year old son to work with her? I had to say yes.
