Why don't we refer to twins and triples as a litter?

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia

Until I had twins I didn't know they have a word for those of us born one at a time, singleton.
Now I catch myself using it in regular conversation and have to try not to. Example: "I've got twins and my bestie has twins and a singleton so we have to travel in her 7-seater van for day trips."
