While I can acknowledge that local and national news outlets have long thrived off of “bad” news, tragedy, and drama, to look at news outlets and even the wreck list here at DK...well, can be a bit overwhelming and depressing since November 9, 2016.
Which made the story of Best buddies Jax and Reddy so poignant and timely.
From Lydia Stith Rosebush’s Facebook page.
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. He said he couldn't wait to go to school on Monday with his hair like Reddy's so that his teacher wouldn't be able to tell them apart. He thought it would be so hilarious to confuse his teacher with the same haircut.
Here's a picture of Jax and Reddy from their Christmas program. I'm sure you all see the resemblance.
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.
I needed to see this report and to know that...you know, life doesn’t have to be as complicated as we adults make it out to be at times.
Today’s challenge: Share some good news with us. (I feel as if we need some good news!) Personal, news related, whatever.
