Hi Vic

So, I’m not really going to ask for advice as much as I am going to ask for comfort.

My son turned 5 in May and it seems like he has unlocked a new level of not caring.

Whenever we are out in public he always does something to embarrass me and I don’t know why.

The other day we were walking in the mall and he walked up to a lady showing some cleavage and asked if he could have some milk.

That’s not even the worst of it, we once we're at the counter and he randomly told the cashier, “Daddy made a big doo doo in the toilet this morning.”

I have heard of the terrible twos but the never the terrible fives?

Are any other parents out there going through this?
