Juniors Lucas and Aubrey Potts were born only seconds apart, or a minute, depending on who you believe.

“(I’m older by) one minute. I was born at 12:55 p.m. and he was born at 12:56 p.m. Lucas says it’s 30 seconds, but it was a minute,” Aubrey said.

Most people don’t even recognize that they are twins.

“Whenever people find out I’m a twin, they are usually like ‘oh my god you’re a twin?’ and I’m just like yeah I am… it’s normal,” Aubrey said.

Looking the same usually comes with the territory of being a twin, however, for fraternal twins this isn’t always the case. 

“We don’t look a lot alike except for maybe the blond hair,” Lucas said.

Growing up, some birthdays were awkward. Having to share a cake and a venue with her brother.

“We would have either too many girls at the party or too many boys and it would be weird,” Lucas said.

More recently, their mom has made efforts to make birthday parties less weird.

“For example her mom had us sleep in the camper for her birthday so we wouldn’t have to share a party with his (Lucas’) friends,” junior Bella Lenker said.

Some may think that sharing a zodiac sign makes you act the same way. For the Potts’ twins this isn’t true at all. 

“She’s way more hyper than me,” Lucas said “She always has energy,”

Aubrey sometimes enjoys teasing her brother.

“Sometimes whenever he walks into a room I’ll go, ‘yes, girl work it’ just to make fun of him,” Aubrey said. 

“I don’t get it,” Lucas said.

Around fifth grade, their personalities started to diverge and they became individuals. 

This was most obvious in their choice of extracurricular activities.

“Our mom made us both do soccer, but I was more of a natural at it, so he quit and started doing karate,” Aubrey said. “He quit around fifth grade.”
