The Identical Triplets: Nicole, Erica, and Jaclyn Dahm

Telling Them Apart

Telling identical twins apart is hard enough, especially when they are young. But imagine how much more difficult it must be to tell identical triplets apart. So, after they were born, their parents came up with an idea. They marked the girls’ toes with little tattoos so that they wouldn’t accidentally mix up their daughters.

Nicole is the eldest and got one dot; Erica, the second-born, got two dots; and Jacklyn, the youngest, didn’t get any dots. The tattoos proved to be a genius idea. Not only did the girls look exactly the same, but they were also inseparable. Thankfully, their parents could tell them apart by the dots until they got used to their kids’ faces.
