Tonight while tucking Huck into bed he told me that his BFF Forever and Ever is leaving the school year a few weeks early for a family vacation, which means that Lady Bug & Honeybee (as they call each other) and Oreo and Huckleberry (as they also call each other) will officially part ways on June 14th.  He then began exclaiming how excited he was for the last day of school and how excited he was for our move until he had the sudden realization that he is NOT READY TO LEAVE NEW YORK!  And then he was back to being SO EXCITED FOR FAYETTEVILLE!  BUT NOT READY TO LEAVE NEW YORK!  BUT SO EXCITED!  BUT NOT READY!  And back and forth and back and forth in a 50% entertaining, 50% disturbing routine of split personality.  It reminded me of the time a few weeks ago in Arkansas when he happily said, “I can’t wait to move here!  I just wish we weren’t leaving behind everything I’ve ever known!”

But back to this night.  I interrupted his dynamic monologue and suggested that perchance he’s feeling torn.  He shouted, “Yes!  I’m like a person who dances even though I’m bleeding because I’ve been cut in half!”

Um, okay.  That does explain this picture a little bit.
