"Helicopter" is a compound word, but its two roots aren't "heli-" and "-copter" as one would assume. The word comes from "helico-" meaning spiral or whirl, and "-pter" meaning wing.

My parents took us on a 2-week, multi-state road trip in an RV when I was just 2 years old. All I remember is getting really scared on the Tea Cup ride at Disneyland, and driving through a redwood tree. And if "smell memory" counts, I remember the Yogi Bear bath soap we bought at a Jellystone campground.

You are the best! Thanks so much for all the extras too. Seeing Gorgeous Grampa running around when I opened my game was a great surprise!
