   How do I still know the Russian word for window from 9th grade but the word for door is as if I had never heard it before?

     @GreenSkyOverMe Growing up in a colony with two languages, children here in #PuertoRico used to know those by heart since there is a school rhyme that goes:

     Pollito, chicken. Gallina, hen.
     Lapiz pencil, y ("y" means and) pluma, pen.

     Ventana, window, y puerta door
     Maestra teacher, y piso floor.
