Mom Britney Tankersley learned a lesson from her son Myles when he revealed to her something about one of his classmates at school. He explained how “he had to be twins with a boy in his class for Twin Day because they look exactly the same,” as she later recounted in a Facebook post. Seeing the boy’s photo, though, taught her something touching.
Agreeing to buy matching outfits for Myles and his “twin,” Tankersley saw from the photo his teacher had taken of the pair that Myles’s friend was African American. She was so moved by how color-blind her son was that she shared the photo online with a message: “Wouldn’t the world be such a better place if we could all view it through the eyes of a couple 5yr olds♥️,” she wrote.
