Fantastic. :) We're aliens to our own selves, across enough time...
You just reminded me that to this day, my parents don't know what my first (multisyllabic) word was -- I would apparently insist "tenadee", growing more and more frustrated when no-one understood me. (My second word was 'pooka', which they finally interpreted when it expanded to 'compooka', which has been a nickname for 'computer' in my house ever since... they should have been worried then, I suppose. :P)
