Meet Jax and Reddy – the 5-year-old best friends who got the same haircut, so they could ‘confuse’ their teacher.
Three years ago, the young boys wanted to play a tricky prank on their teacher by getting the same haircut. The best friends thought this way others won’t be able to tell them apart. Their hartening story perfectly displays children’s deep understanding of tolerance and open-mindedness, as the only significant difference these kids see in each other is their haircut.

In the touching post, Ms. Rosebush shares:

Ever since Lydia shared the sweet picture of the two 5-year-old best friends, their sweetness has gone immensely viral.
These two amazing boys are spreading awareness of the way we should all be treating each other – with tolerance.
