I’m trying to come up with a list of trios that kids (up to young teenagers) might know who are. So far I have: Huey Duey and Louie Larry Moe and Curly Greg Peter and Bobby Marcia Jan and Cindy Father Son and Holy Ghost Kirk Spock and McCoy Harry Ron and Hermione Athos Porthos and Aramis And for Epiphany, which is why I need the list: Melchior Casper and Balthazar Real or fictional ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. ---
