Oh sure, they'll pose and mug and grin... all a ruse to get your guard down... and then they attack. It's all in great fun, until somebody loses a filter.
Great picture! Obviously they're having a good time with you. A lot of times, that's exactly what it's about! Wish I could see the face of the kid on the far right -- but of course, the more you pose them, the more you risk losing the spontaneous fun. Love the little guy on the left, what a character!

Begs the question have cameras changed human behavior - did children act like this before photography??!!

Ever heard a kid yell, "Mommy/Daddy, look at me!!"
I do wonder how today's kids will be different as a result of being the YouTube/Myspace/Facebook generation, the most photographed generation ever, with practically every little moment of their lives documented and often on display. Will they be more self-centered (stars of their own shows!), or perhaps more self-conscious (the world is always watching!), or value their privacy more or less? Or have a different notion of privacy altogether?
Sorry for the digression... it's an interesting question!

I believe we already have the answer - as exhibited on 10s of millions of Facebook and My Space pages and You Tube Videos - and it is that they have no sense of privacy what-so-ever. It's quite scary really, because their utter disregard for the concept of privacy is likely to carry over into areas of life where we have taken privacy for granted.

You mean it has future "human rights" implications, I think. Yes, I see that.
Though, when I think of adolescent subculture (aka age grade) all around the world, it's characterised by intimacy and display. It's most usually the last time when individuals can stand "outside" the norms of society.
At the risk of going way too far off topic, I must disagree with this. They do have a "sense of privacy." But it's a very strange one. They'll make all kinds of personal, even intimate, information freely available to random, anonymous strangers on the Internet... then get upset if their mom reads their profile. Or send explicit cell-phone photos of themselves to their classmates, but rush across the stage to avoid a photo op when receiving a school award. Examples of the former
Such interpersonal naivete combined with such technical (pseudo-)sophistication... I think it's a bit strange.

That's OK then, I just wasn't sure if this mightn't have been a pre-cooking-the-photographer dance!
