triplets and twins

This is just a quick-y as I'm at work and I need to get back to looking at some data, but I also don't want to forget to write this down.

This morning, all the girls were dressed alike. Purple shirts (exactly the same) and black leggings (almost exactly the same. oNe's identical pair was dirty so she was wearing a close approximation that were only slightly different). They like dressing alike. I buy quite a few of their clothes to be "identical" so when they feel like dressing alike, they can. Sometimes they do and other times they don't. This morning, they wanted to dress alike, in a BIG way! oNe pointed out that her hair was the shortest and she was the tallest and Three-a's hair was the longest and she was the shortest, so we discussed inverse correlations. We could have even gotten into correlation is not causation, but ran out of time.

On our recent vacation we got asked several times if twoK and Three-a were twins. Once, when the person refused to believe they weren't twins, I responded, "Well, they are Irish twins." (See definition Technically, they aren't Irish twins, but at 15 months apart, they are CLOSE. There's almost 3 years and 7 months between all 3, so they aren't Irish triplets, either.) Shortly after that, someone asked me if twoK and Three-a were Irish twins and I said, yes. Three-a likes this term and now goes around proudly saying that twoK is her "Irish twin." Heh!
