Can you tell them apart?







                  Lucy Aylmer and her twin sister Maria Aylmer have never had a problem with people telling them apart. They live in Great Britain and 100% of the time no one ever believed they were twins in the first place. Lucy and Marias mother is half-Jamaican and half-white while their father is British. Donna their mother said the midwife(at home nurse) was in pure shock when she gave birth.
Lucy has fair skin and ginger hair, Maria on the other hand has caramel skin and dark brown hair. the Aylmer sisters have 3 additional siblings who all have mixed skin color, but  Lucy and Maria are dizygotic twins which means they're fraternal. Lucy says "No one believes we are twins because I am white and Maria is black, Even though when we dress alike, we sill don't even look like sisters, let alone twins. Friends have even made us produce our birth certificates to prove it."
