Multiples

My brother and sister are twins. My dad's sisters are identical twins. My mom has a brother and sister that are twins. My first cousins are fraternal twins, and they have older sisters who are ... triplets!!!

Anyone care for a stick of Doublemint gum? *badum bum krrrrssshhh*

Remember those commercials with all the twins chewing gum while skiing, swimming, or riding roller coasters? Aah the 80's. Anyhow ...

I can tell my nephew is brilliant because when he was a toddler, he saw twins, and said "Oh look, a pair of duplets!" As far as I can tell, duplet (pronounced "doo'-plet") is a pretty rational word choice. I'm not sure it's in the dictionary though.
