Is it just me or is this some sort of age 4.5 milestone? In the past week, my son has said that a stranger's baby looked like a monkey, that a disabled man looked funny and a racist little gem that I am too embarrassed to even repeat here.

I told him that saying those things out loud around people may hurt their feelings, but I can't help thinking we're going to have to repeat that lesson again and again.

Does your child do this? Is this a 4 year old thing?
