EIGHT weeks ago, I gave birth to a beautiful baby daughter.
As I was feeding her, my eldest son who is nine, smiled and asked: "Mum, can you imagine if you had twins?"
After having had many sleepless nights and endless nappy changes, I frowned, and jokingly said: "No, I can't imagine that at all!"
He replied: "Well, we have "thirds" in our school, so imagine how busy their mum is."
It took me a while to realise that the "thirds" he mentioned happened to be triplets!
