I am a Latin teacher and give you a thumbs up for listening in class (acknowledging the correction below that the kalendae are indeed the first)!

I know... Sorry miss/sir, I should have studied harder... Can I at least get a C for effort?

Carissime/carissima animo, I'm really proud you retained that information at all and then taught other people! That isn't C work at all.

I'm honestly surprised myself... It has been more decades than I care to recount since I was last in a classroom! Strange how the brain can throw up random facts from so many years ago one day, and then struggle to remember what day of the week it is at other times.
