Compound words!

Our conversation tonight while making cinnamon/sugar tortillas...

Seth:  "Mommy!  Did you know 'ocean' is a compound word?
'O...SHUN'!"

O'Neill:  "No Sethie, that's not a compound word.  A compound word is when two words are put together
like... uhm ...'Rudolph'! 
They were 'RUDE' and so he flew 'OFF'. 
'RUDEOFF'!"


And there you have it! 
The orgins of "RUDEOFF the red-nosed reindeer!"
...or is it "RAINDEAR?"
