These 5-Year-Old Best Friends Got The Same Haircut To “Confuse” Their Teacher

ADVERTISEMENT

Five-year-old Jax Rosebush and his best friend Reddy wanted to play the best prank, so they decided to get the same haircut in hopes that their teacher wouldn’t be able to tell them apart. The world has never needed innocence and open-mindedness like this more desperately than now.

In a Facebook post by Lydia Stith Rosebush, Jax’s mom, she described their diabolical little plot and included a dapper photo of the little kids. “The only difference Jax sees in the two of them is their hair,” she wrote of the uncanny look-alikes. Their story is going viral, and Jax and Reddy have received an outpouring of support – as well as the overwhelming opinion that they’re going to have one very confused teacher on their hands.

We can all learn a valuable lesson on friendship and acceptance from these fine young gentlemen. Let’s hope their bond continues to transcend colors and labels.

Jax Rosebush and his friend Reddy have gone viral after Jax’s mom shared their heartwarming story on Facebook

The post has been liked over 137k times, and shared over by over 75k people, a number sure to keep growing

We can all learn a valuable lesson on friendship and acceptance from these 5-year-old buds

The Internet was a good sport and went along with the joke…

But the boys also received an outpouring of support from parents and others alike

Their innocence must be protected at all costs and spread across the world

These children have the best parents ever and I pray the children stay friends forever and never allow the world to taint them. They are the most handsome twins ever.

Don't kid yourself... kids, even if they were the same race you could still tell them apart! People have different faces! It would likely only be confusing if they were identical twins.

Rascism and prejudice was perfected by the Nationalist Party in South Africa, apartheid, being seperate ness, was farcical. Almost the entire white population was brought up by a black substitute mother, a housekeeper, cook and child carer. Many white children in South Africa now don't really know what it was like and are growing up as friends but the ramification of our forefathers beliefs are a heavy burden and all South Africans are paying for it. Don't ever let your government make you believe that one race is superior to another, because you will lose sight of your humanity, and that will be detrimental to coming generations.
