  • Identical Triplets

    Ok, i don't really hate them, but treat them like my little sisters.

    BUT THEY ARE ALL CREEPY AS HELL!!


    Said triplets are the daughters of my mothers BFF. And I just went over for their collective 15th birthday party. I have known them since they where approximately 16 hours old. Now one of them had a small medical problem so they made the decision at the hospital to permanently label the triplets via a medical tattoo. Each on their right foot have a '1', '2' or a '3'.

    Now to the creepy stuff!

    1. They know their order of birth!

    Back when they where about 7 My mother was watching them for the day. She was talking to them about playing a card game and suggesting they take turns in order of their birth. So they went 3, 1, 2. My mother was quite puzzled since they where tattooed and everyone assumed that was the order. When their parents came to pick them up my mother asked why they did that. There parents assumed as well that they where tattooed in order.

    After looking into it turns out that 3 was the first out, but she had a breathing problem and was whisked away. So the second out got '1' and the third '2' once the first was out of the woods she got '3'.

    And as far as anyone can tell no one told them otherwise.

    2. They finish each other's sentences.

    Ok when you see it on TV or in movies its cute. But in real like if its so odd. when all three are in the room its like having a conversation with one person. You will ask '2' a question about her day and '3' will answer it correctly. Or they will do the "We went over to so and so place", "She wasn't home so we went down the road to the fast food joint", "We waited there for like 30 minutes." Its almost like they only have one mouth and need to pass it among each other.

    3. They rarely say "I"

    That's right, I could count the number of times that I have heard them refer to themselves as "I" with one hand. Its always "We", even if you corner one by themselves they will still say "We".

    4. They never talk among themselves.

    Or at least no has seen it. They can communicate among themselves by a look of the eye or gesture. I have seen them play Wii, get up at the same time. One go grab a tray of drinks the second upstairs to get a blanket and the third to go into the down stairs freezer for some ice cream. WITHOUT TALKING TO EACHOTHER FIRST.

    No they must use ESP, it has to be the only way

    5. They love to trade places.

    Yes they will pretend to be one of their sisters just for a change of pace. When they hit high school they where really in the same class. So for fun they decided to take the others place. Apparently they where able to get away with this in 9th grade. Got caught in 10th grade, only because '2' got in trouble and said she was '1'. So they called in '1' and '3'. The principle talked to them in separate rooms, they all claimed to be '1'.

    Their mother made them come in and take of their shoes. If you look very closely you can see the faint outline of the '1' '2' and '3'. In a few years we will all be doomed.

    6. If they take the same test in school they always get the same answers right.

    Well not always, more like 99% of the time. Their elementary school teachers decided to see if they where using some kind of mystic Twin sign language to cheat. Put them in separate classrooms. Nope they still got the same answers right. I am also told that their essay answers are always frighteningly similar.

    1) makes perfectly good sense that they'd know by now; what would be odd is if it had *never* come up in a family conversation where they would hear it.

    If they're so much alike to start with and take the same classes and live together, it would make sense for them to study together as well, and to have problems over mostly the same questions even if they didn't. And I strongly suspect that some of the stuff where they get up at the same time they've worked on exaggerating, just because it does creep people out.

      I went to high school with identical twins. They used to change places all the time to freak the teacher out.

      I've heard of things like that happening with twins. I'm not familiar with identical triplets, but I would imagine it's the same thing going on.
      Even my brother and sister are fraternal twins and they have a bond when it comes to certain things.

      I guess it has something to do with sharing the same womb.

      Is it considered irony when someone on an internet forum makes a post that can be considered to look like it was written by a 3rd grade dropout, and they are poking fun of the fact that another person couldn't spell?

          Also in somes cases identical twins have gone on to marry identical.

          Ther's also been many times where they'll shop at different places at different times and still end up buying the same stuff.

            That's what it sounds like.

              Are you guys serious about the twins/triplets trading places stuff? Whenever I see that on TV, I laugh because I've never seen that in real life. I've gone to school with several sets of identical twins, and every single pair everyone could tell apart. There was always something slightly different about their face or something. No one could ever pick it out exactly how they were different from the other, just that they were. Even if they dressed the same, you could tell who was who, so none of them ever tried the trade places BS, probably cause they knew they wouldn't get away with it.

                Oh yeah, with the guys in my school, if you looked closely, you could see a difference, and that was what made it funny when the teacher would catch on that they had switched places again.

                She would do roll call and come to the assigned seat and they would answer to the wrong name. Then, she would ask one of them a question, or one of them would raise their hand. She would call them by name (let's say Gary and Mark) and then Gary would say, "I'm Mark."
                A while later, she would call him Mark and he would say, "I'm Gary."

                She would just stand there for a few seconds all confused, and then she would realize they were messing with her head.
                By the end of the year, I'm pretty sure she got to tell them apart.

                Mark had a rounder face than Gary, and even though they were technically identical, Mark was actually a little better looking.

                My brother married an identical twin. (They're divorced now.)

                She and her sister look very much alike, but you can tell them apart if you look closely. I haven't seen my ex-SIL or her sister in a while, but I do see pictures of them on my niece's Facebook page, and I'm never sure right away who is in the picture unless it's tagged or labelled.

                  I went to college with identical twins, and they were actually very easy to tell apart once you got to know them. One was a little thinner and scrawnier than the other, their hair was a little different, and they had different voices.

                    I'd forgotten all about it, but our store manager once hired triplets. Two identical and one fraternal, but still very much alike. Training them was a mess, because of course we couldn't really have three trainees in the same position all the time, and keeping track of who had been where was... well, it was awful. After a couple of days we got used to the one that was different, and one of the others started wearing a hat while the other didn't. But they seemed about as alike, and about as different, as brothers usually are otherwise.
