Triplets

What's it like being a triplet? This is a question that I am asked almost everytime someone finds out that my sisters and I are triplets. And probably the most difficult of them all. Asking me this question is equivalent to me asking someone that is not a triplet what it's like to not be one. Throughout my life I have never known anything other than being a triplet so I am not all that familiar with what it's like not to be one. I'm not sure about how close "singletons" and their siblings are, but I have come to notice that I am definitely closer to my sisters than I am either of my brothers. I have always assumed that it was because we were all girls, however while researching twins I have come to find out that this is not the case. The most likely cause is because we are triplets and were treated the same by others as a result of this. Our parents dressed us alike when we were younger and had our birthdays together which makes it harder for each one of us triplets to separate ourselves from another. As we became teenagers we did get a little more independent as far as hanging out with different friends. I was always the social butterfly so I had many different friends of different cliques whereas one of my sisters only hungout with her boyfriend and another couple, and the other had a group of a few close friends. However, after high school our relationship with each other grew way beyond what it was as a child and continues to get stronger and stronger. (I was one of the lucky few that actually got to keep in touch with my two very best friends after high school) :) Even today, if there is something going on in my life it is my sisters that are the first (and sometimes the only) ones I tell. The trust and bond between us is undeniably very strong and it would take alot for it to be broken!
