My twenty cents?
a twentysomething Dad should be fully capable of carrying said five year old, not "running towards the platform" with the child lagging.

The only person I have in my life who calls their privates "junk" is an african american wanna be gansta who knows he isnt part of the in crowd, and seems to think he should be, and thats what he calls his sons penis when he grabs himself before he needs to use the restroom.

But yes, it sounds like the talk was overdue. I thought that was a ... three year old thing, that keeps going if you dont educate them. Other moms?

No, typically, at least in my circles, we dont call a vagina, 'junk'. You either call parts by their textbook name, or you says 'privates'.

And although it may have seemed like it, chances are he's called her out in public before, and it has yet to sink in.

and why you? You encounter the wierdos because you are aware.
No one else looks around, or notices.
