Identical Quads Head Back to School With New Haircuts
Chinese Quadruplets Have Numbers Shaved Into Their Heads So People Can Tell Them Apart 09/06/2012 Imagine you had four kids and they all looked the same. Now imagine how mortifying it would be if you couldn't tell them apart. A mother of quadruplets has been faced with that very scenario, and she's come up with a hair-raising solution that's proven incredibly effective. According to Chinese news website NOW News, Tan Chaoyun from Shenzhen, China, has shaved numbers into the heads of her 6-year-old sons to help teachers differentiate them. Tan said that when she had registered her kids for elementary school, the boys' future teachers had worriedly informed her that they would likely have difficulty telling them apart. So in an attempt to avert potential mayhem, Tan decided that the boys -- who are reportedly identical save for differences in the shape of their eyelids -- needed to be adorned with a more distinguishing trait that would set them apart from each other. "My sons are identical, even to me," said Tan, according to MSN. "I could only tell the difference between them by having different ankle tags on them before they turned 18 months old." "Even now, their father can't tell which one is which. Sometimes, he punishes the second one for something the third one has done." Tan told reporters that the new hairstyles have been a huge success, NOW News notes. Though perhaps not the most subtle of hairdos, the boys' new identity markers have ensured that they are easily differentiated. "Teachers and classmates can't get confused with the big marks on their head," said Tan, according to MSN. (Photo credit: AFP PHOTOSTR/AFP/GettyImages)  · |

I think maybe painting their pinky nail or something, different colors would be a little more nice.

Re: Identical Quads Head Back to School With New Haircuts
They can pick that off easily though. Sad that the parents can't tell them apart! The dad even punished the wrong child! Nice to admit in a public forum, lol! I don't think they have that devious mindset yet to try to trick the parents. Devious is the only word I can think of. They would think it was a joke, but, the father might not. |

Disfigure them with different maladies, no pinky finger, left ear loped off, front tooth knocked out and right eye plucked out...no problem.  |

There is an easier way to tell them apart. Shaving their hair into numbers is just stupid.
