Mixing Metaphors

What happens when you have an 8 year old boy/soccer enthusiast raised by a 43rd mom/musical theatre officionado?

I'll tell you what happens.

1) You have a young boy who does his physical warm-ups and counts them off by half measures "1-2, 1-2, 1-2". And,

2) You have a mom who asks her son how he "felt about his audition...I mean try-out"?

We're living a boundary-crossing, metaphor-mixing, filled-with-possibility life!
