Today in the car, Tyler saw two boys ride their bikes passed us. He said, “oh they look like short stature people.” I didn’t understand what he said (because of his accent and because I didn’t expect him to say that.)
Ty: I know a short stature person. He use to be a Bear. (Bear’s are what his teacher calls her students)
Me: A short stature person?
Ty: Yeah, a short stature person. His name is Yan. He’s so smart, he got to go to college for free. He’s the first short stature person to run the Boston marathon. (I’m not sure if this is true)

This is the first time I’ve heard of little people being called ‘short statured’, but it is very politically correct.
