I found myself in Sikeston, MO earlier tonight. Three consecutive numbered US routes intersect here, US 60, 61 and 62. Being lazy, is there anywhere else in the US where this occurs, and if so, where?

I do not believe there is anywhere else that this occurs.  The closest occurrence before was US 23, US 24, and US 25 in Toledo, OH before US 25 was truncated to the KY/OH line and US 23 was moved onto I-475.  However, I'm not sure that they intersected in the same place in Toledo but all three routes did pass through the city limits.

Boone, NC doesn't have consecutive route numbers, but it does have three consecutive child routes of US 21..........US 221, US 321, US 421.

This is really a tough one.  I do not think that there are.  The only thing that comes close is two consecutive routes like US 79, and US 80 in Shreveport, LA and the ones in New England where all the two single number routes intersect.
Every day is a winding road, you just got to get used to it.

Looking at a USGS map from 1952 (http://ims.er.usgs.gov/gda_services/download?item_id=5319864) US 23, US 24 and US 25 did intersect.  At the time, US 23 and US 24 used Collingwood Boulevard through the Old West End section of Toledo while US 25 used Detroit Avenue.  The routes intersected at an area called "Thousand Islands" (about 1-1/2 miles west of where I live) at the intersection of Detroit Avenue and Cherry Street.  US 24 and US 25 continued together on Detroit Avenue to their split at Telegraph Road.  US 23 used Berdan Avenue, Haverhill Drive, Phillips Avenue and Lewis Avenue to travel north into Michigan.
