The Rwandan woman named Maureen Hirwa, a United Nations communications specialist, said in her tweet, “I’m not short, he’s just tall.”

Mrs. Maureen said plans are already in progress for him to join the NBA and also shared a picture of the boy on a basketball court.
When someone in the comments section asked how tall the boy’s dad is, Mrs. Maureen replied that her husband is as tall as his son.
Trust Twitter’s special adviser, Daniel Regha, to turn up, and he didn’t disappoint. Daniel advised the communications specialist to consider sports, especially basketball, for her son and wished them the best in life.
Interestingly, another funny tweep said the young boy could be the ‘Longman’ who’s been publishing books.
