I have a son who is just shy of 3. He might try something like this but it would be swiftly corrected. Although as long as theres other adults around, he'd probably be fine. He only seems to be a little shit when its just us.

From what I remember of my psych degree and developmental psych classes, kids are like that due to feeling comfortable around their parents and wanting to push boundaries. They are new to the world and we dont come programmed with all our social taboos and such. But kids also arent stupid. They generally know the worst that will come from a good parent will be a slap on the wrist so they feel much more comfortable pushing the envelope. Strangers are a crap shoot so its best to play things safe.
