I have a friend whose mother had triplets after he had already left home for college, marriage, etc. So one day I go to visit his sister, who was watching the babies. The tots were in three corners of the room and as soon as I entered they all started staring at me. As I walked around the room their little heads would turn like little turrets, always with the unblinking baby stare. I felt like they were triangulating, trying to get a lock on me. Triplets and beyond kind of creep me out, but I can sure respect all of the work that goes into taking care of them. I take for granted my peace and quiet.
