White Woods

Toward the end of a group of cows, Antonio and I are in the habit of telling each other how many cows are left in the group. Doing that lets the other person start cleaning milking units which won't be in use. When I milk w/ Antonio I work the back of the parlor. That means it's usually me who relates the number to Antonio so I do it in Spanish. However today it was Antonio who went into the holding pen and reported back to me, "Cuatro vacas, mas o menos." I didn't understand him so asked him to repeat it. He did and the thought flashed through my mind, "Antonio has quite an accent." That got me laughing. Between Antonio and I, who do you suppose really has an accent in Spanish?
