Is there one who is always left out? There has to be, right? How do they choose who’s going to ride together on Space Mountain? And kids are cruel, you can’t tell me that the two stronger ones don’t beat-up on and alienate the weaker one. I just can’t imagine it. Two’s company, three’s a crowd. Someone is going to be left out.
Then I think back to the Koyama triplets who were a year ahead of me at Cherry Creek High School. They were cute and smart and all were great dancers. They were nice and popular and heavily involved in extra curricular activities. But there was one who stood out, even if just a half a step, from her sisters. I can’t remember which one it was because, c’mon, they all looked alike. But whichever one it was, she was just a little brighter, a teensy bit shinier that the other two. At least the other two weren’t beating up on her - they were looking up to her, perhaps even vying for her affection. For some reason, that makes me feel better. Not that I’m constantly thinking about triplets, either, it’s not like I’ve been losing sleep over this. Was just wondering…
Seriously, I'm not obsessed with triplets.

,... you DO realize that a surprising percentage (although somewhat small) of 'twins' who are born actually started out as 'triplets' but the weakest of the three often loses out to it's two stronger siblings within the first trimester and then gets 'reabsorbed'...think about that.
...sweet dreams.
