| Things in threes
Can you name things that are referenced to come in threes?
Here are a few threes to stat the list:
*Going down for the third time. (I believe that is in reference to drowning. Don’t know why it takes three times)
*Three strikes and you’re out. Baseball.
*Good and bad things come in threes.
*Sneezing. Three times before it stops.
*Knock three times on the ceiling if you want me. |

| The Trinity.
The number three implies stability. One doubles and becomes two, but a duality is still unstable. By adding a third, stuff becomes solidified.
In a relationship, adding a third individual, like a child, gives the couple something to focus on, and can keep them together.
In a melodrama, there are three characters: hero, victim, and villain.
