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.
