Placenta

So the other day (April 1st in fact, I suggested my teacher go up on stage and say, "Well, I'm sorry, but we've lost all the certificates and medals...") was the Latin Honor Society induction ceremony, and as an existing member I had to be there to welcome the new members and receive my fancy pin for second year members (yayz).
And afterwards we had refreshments and aside from cookies and brownies and soda they had a huge placenta! I mean it was massive, covered in icing, and had Carpe Diem written on it in icing.
See it was actually World Language Honor Society induction in general, so Spanish and French students were there too. Spanish and French had placentae as well, except the French one had the French flag on it and the Spanish one just had "Spanish" written on it. Pssh, uncreative people. Well the Spanish and French teachers were all cutting up their respective placentae and serving the pieces to their students but I couldn't find our Latin teacher so we could also get a piece of placenta. It looked good and I wanted one. The other Latin kids around me expressed similar sentiments.
So eventually a Spanish teacher came over and asked why no one was cutting it. So she grabbed the cake cutter knife-type thingy and started cutting the placenta into nice pieces for us. I didn't want a corner because there'd be too much icing so I settled for an edge instead. There was still too much icing so I only ate half of my placenta and decided to bring the rest home for my sister.
Considering there are only a few kids in Latin I wondered how we'd finish such a large placenta. There was probably a lot left over. Who knows.
And I got a(nother) fancy certificate! Yay!
... oh did I forget to mention that "placenta" means "cake" in Latin? Silly me.
