5-Year-Old Interracial Best Friends Convinced Haircut Will Fool Teacher

Jul 10, 2020 by apost team

In 2017, Kentucky-resident Jaxon Rosebush, then five years old, had the mischievous idea that if he got the same haircut as his best friend Reddy Weldon, then their teacher couldn't tell them apart.

As Jaxon is Caucasian and Reddy is African-American, this would never occur, but the innocence of the young boys touched hearts everywhere. 

The boys are inseparable friends who love spending time with each other. And once you see a video of the two friends, you'll immediately see what we're talking about. They truly are like brothers.

Jax told his mom that for his next haircut, he wanted his hair to be very short, just like his friend Reddy's hairstyle. Instead of just admiring his BFF's look, he had another reason for wanting to copy his hairstyle.

Jax told his mom that if he got the same haircut as Reddy, then their teacher might mistake them for each other, as reported here by CTV News. 

Lydia Stith Rosebush, Jax's mother, thought this innocent request was too sweet not to share with the rest of the world. She told her friends on social media about it, and soon the story went viral.
