Pair Of Adorable Kindergartners Go Viral After Insisting They 'Look Exactly The Same' For Twin Day At School

The human inhabitants of our planet have more in common than they have different.

That couldn't be more apparent when seen through the untainted eyes of children.


When Britney Tankersley's son Myles insisted on being twins on "Twin Day" with a specific buddy from kindergarten, she fetched matching outfits.

The resulting photo sent by their teacher later melted Tankersley's heart, as well as the world's.

For Myles is White, and his "twin" is Black.

The proud mother – who is an Assistant Registrar for Online Learning at Waldorf University in Forest City, Iowa – posted the adorable photo on Facebook and wrote:

"Late last night Myles went on & on about how he had to be twins with a boy in his class for Twin Day because they look exactly the same- same eyes, same hair."

She continued:

"He was adamant that they were identical. So after the kids went to bed I headed to Walmart at 9pm to get matching outfits. Their teacher sent me this picture today"
"My heart melted. Obviously two very different children, but Myles didn't see that."

Tankersley concluded her post by asking her followers this poignant question.

"Wouldn't the world be such a better place if we could all view it through the eyes of a couple 5yr olds?"

If only.

Everyone seemed to agree with this wonderful sense of optimism and took the photo to viral status with over 500K likes and 269K shares.

The jury was in.

These boys are a beautiful example of what the world could represent—harmony and joy.

Trump Dragged After Making Ridiculous Claim About Randomly Finding Billions On The 'Tariff Shelf'

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed to reporters this week that officials in his administration suddenly found $30 billion they "never knew existed"—located on what Trump referred to as the "tariff shelf."

Tariffs are a tax on imported goods, usually calculated as a percentage of the purchase price. While tariffs can shield domestic manufacturers by making foreign products more expensive, they are also used as a tool to penalize countries engaged in unfair trade practices, such as government subsidies or dumping goods below market value.

Bride's Friends Surprise Her With Montage Video Of All Her Exes At Bachelorette Party—And People Are Mortified

While Jenny Han's novel To All the Boys I've Loved Before was a major hit, and even became a great film success in 2018, not everyone's married to the idea of reconnecting with their exes after the relationships end.

It might be nice to imagine staying friends after the relationships, imagining our exes missing us or regretting losing us, or even giving us an apology for the things they did wrong. But most of us pine for this for a little while, realize it's all a fairy tale, and push past it to better things and new love.
