5-Year-Old Boy Shaves His Head To Look Like His Friend

<div><p>We all know about the innocence of children. From questions about how things work, to why things happen, they aren't shy about things that adults would deem to be inappropriate. </p><p>Well, 5-year-old Jax wanted to shave his head so that he could look more like his friend from school, Reddy. </p><p>"This morning Jax and I were discussing his wild hair. I told him that he needed a haircut this weekend. He said that he wanted his head shaved really short so he could look like his friend Reddy," said Lydia Stith Rosebush in a Facebook post last week. </p><p>Jax was so excited to go to school on Monday to trick his teacher into trying to tell them apart. </p><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p>"He thought it would be so hilarious to confuse his teacher with the same haircut." his mom wrote. </p><p>She then displayed a picture of the two boys from Christmas, and the resemblance - or lack there of, was obvious. </p><p>Jax is white, where Reddy is black. </p><p>"If this isn't proof that hate and prejudice is something that is taught I don't know what is. The only difference Jax sees in the two of them is their hair." Lydia concluded.</p><div><figure><a href="http://globalnews.ca/news/3285068/jax-reddy-haircut/" target="_blank"><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/Jax.PNG" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/Jax_GH_content_550px.PNG 550w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/Jax_GH_content_650px.PNG 650w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img></a><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite><a href="http://globalnews.ca/news/3285068/jax-reddy-haircut/" target="_blank">Global News</a></cite></figcaption></figure></div><p>It's amazing to see how kids don't see the things we find so obvious.
