Walking home I noticed four children chatting loudly with each other - sitting high up in a tree. They paid no heed to my passing. Being that I was at an awkward angle to take a good shot and really did not want to disturb their fun and draw attention to myself by pulling out my big camera and pointing at them - - - I decided to carry on down the street.
When I got across to a corner where I could tuck in behind and pull the camera out of my shoulder bag - I peeked out from behind the wall to capture the kids from a distance. However, the second I pointed my camera in their direction, they noticed me and instantly started hamming it up and hollering and hooping.
I then stepped out and smiled at them as they kept saying in Spanish "take more, take more". When I had shot a dozen or so, I turned and put the camera away and continued down the street away from their position. I heard the four yelling things at me to get my attention - right until I turned a corner out of their view.
These kids are always on this corner, so I will return with prints to give to them or their mothers.

Pull back shows the total of 4, strung out across the tree branches. The fellow on the left had his hands covering his face for all but this shot, where he let me have it.
