Hi,
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
Do not worry.
That type of behavior is normal at that age.
You should just ignore it.
If you persistently ask him some questions he will give some answer or the other.
Ignore his behavior and stop him if he does such in public places.
Continue to ask further queries.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
