With twins, you might get [[Unto Us a Son and Daughter Are Born|a boy and]] [[Half-Identical Twins|a girl]]. But triplets are almost always the same sex. That's what the media wants people to think. Usually, they will be all identical, but sometimes, they are all fraternal for easy recognition. In [[Real Life]], identical triplets are always all boys or all girls (for obvious reasons), but most triplets are two identical and one fraternal and only have a fifty-fifty chance of all being the same sex. All-fraternal triplets only have a one-in-four chance.
