Is it always genuine in a child? Becauses it releases such unjaded light. The flash of his teeth the sudden creases in an unformed face-- no calculation his joy as involuntary as his next breath-- where is the subtext? Later-- he may use it as a mask perhaps a subterfuge for a Machiavellian move-- but enoy it now before he has something to prove.
