When Jonathan Sandhu takes his four daughters out in public, he knows people are going to stare.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard not to. Hannah, Lucy, Rebecca and Petra are identical quadruplets<\/a>, a phenomenon doctors estimate occurs just once in 15 million births. There are roughly 72 documented cases <\/a>of spontaneous identical quadruplets in medical history, a figure cited by physicians who have studied the rare phenomenon.<\/p>\n

Still, Sandhu recently found himself laughing at one question in particular \u2014 so obvious that he made an Instagram video about it.<\/p>\n

\u201cAre there four of them?\u201d<\/p>\n

Yes. There are four.<\/p>\n

And once that has been established, there is often a follow-up: \u201cAre they twins?\u201d<\/p>\n

Apparently, Sandhu is not alone in fielding baffling questions from seemingly baffled bystanders. After he shared the video, people with experience of multiples chimed in.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou crack me up! The question I always got was if \u2018my twin brother and I are identical\u2019 (I am female) I would answer. No, he has brown eyes,\u201d one person commented.<\/p>\n

Sandhu\u2019s girls, now 2 years and 4 months old<\/a>, may look nearly indistinguishable, but their personalities are already unmistakably their own.<\/p>\n

Hannah, the oldest, is the boss. She tells her sisters when it\u2019s time to sit down or go to bed. Lucy and Rebecca are the easygoing ones, happy to go along for the ride. Petra, the youngest, is the firecracker \u2014 \u201cby far the most fiery, the most defiant,\u201d Sandhu tells TODAY.com.<\/p>\n

Their bond is just as striking.<\/p>\n

Recently, Sandhu caught the girls hugging and kissing one another. They had been at it for about a minute before he stopped what he was doing to film them. On family walks, if one sister falls behind, he sometimes calls her name. If she doesn\u2019t respond, he\u2019ll jokingly say goodbye and keep walking, prompting the other three to race back for their sister.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re just so distraught at the thought of their sister being left behind,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

The girls are growing up in a busy household in Texas. Sandhu and his wife, Mercedes, both work full time as engineers and are raising the quadruplets alongside their two older sons, Luke, 6, and Aaron, 3.<\/p>\n

For strangers, four identical toddlers can seem almost surreal. For their brothers, there is nothing particularly remarkable about it. The boys have grown up with four little sisters and are, Sandhu says, \u201cstill so in love and proud of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sandhu has noticed that people also react differently when he is out with the children alone without his wife. Strangers sometimes treat the outing as though he has accomplished something heroic.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou would think I just saved the world,\u201d he says. \u201cThe bar is so low for dads.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When Jonathan Sandhu takes his four daughters out in public, he knows people are going to stare.
