Chicago school breaks record number of twins

WOLMETTE, Ill. -- A Chicago school is making the record books for having the most twin sets in one grade.

Highcrest Middle School, in a suburb just outside the city, has 24 sets of twins in one grade.

The previous world record for most twin sets was 16 at a school in Iowa.

The parents were required to submit birth certificates and school registrations to Guinness to become the official record breakers.

The students there said they were enjoying all of the attention but mostly just enjoyed being a twin.
