The second father is next in line. “Triplets!” the nurse announces with excitement. The man’s eyes widen. “Incredible!” he says. “I’ve always been a fan of threes. I work for 3M, you know.” As the nurse moves on to the third man, a look of pure joy spreads across his face. “It’s quadruplets!” she declares.
