A mum of triplets has taken to social media to share a video detailing the common remarks she hears whenever she takes her trio out for a stroll. Shannon Page, who welcomed her triplets Enzo, Cruz, and Aljo at 29 weeks in October 2024, has been capturing the hearts of followers on TikTok alongside her husband Ace as they navigate life with their identical boys, including an initial 75-day hospital stay.
In a recent clip, Shannon reveals the frequent comments she encounters when venturing outside with her babies. “These are the things that I hear daily whilst out walking with the triplets,” she begins.
Ace humorously reenacts interactions with passersby, starting with: “Oh triplets – you’ve got your hands full” accompanied by laughter. The video then shifts to another common encounter where Ace asks, “Oh triplets, can I have a look,” prompting Shannon’s cautious response, “Oh yeah, but don’t get too close because they are new-born.”
Ace comically leans in close to the pram, mimicking how strangers often peer down at the babies, even going so far as to cough over them, highlighting the potential risk to the infants.
Another segment features someone inquiring if Shannon underwent IVF, and upon confirmation, dismissively comments ‘thought so’ before departing. In yet another reenacted scenario, Ace exclaims “Three? ” and then adds, “Cor that’s my worst nightmare.”
This was quickly followed by the quip: “God, you need a licence to drive that thing,” referring to the three-seat pram. Another comment was: “Three? Good luck,” and there were complaints about it being too cold outside for the babies.
The final remark was: “Cor, I guess you don’t get much sleep,” before a disclaimer revealed it was all in jest and the parents appreciated the conversations. Shannon and Ace aren’t alone in hearing such comments, as the video’s comment section filled with parents sharing similar experiences.
One mum said: “I’m soon to have my 8th. Had twins who are now nearly 13. One of the best comments I’ve had when out with all mine was ‘Are they all yours?’ Response no I found them by the park so thought I’d just take some, women looked like she was having heart failure.”
Another person shared: “I got a lot of this with my twins. I know it’s curiosity but the IVF question is a step too far imo! ” A third person added: “I had Irish twins and I’d be a millionaire if everyone who asked me ‘Don’t you have a telly’ gave me £1”.
