Is this a subtle way of telling me I have some sort of problem?

The other day I was with my mom and she told me, "Oh, I have something I want to give you. Remind me later." This isn't unusual at all. My mom is pretty young and we have very similar taste in things, so she often buys me stuff when she goes shopping. I get many purses, tops, and home decorations this way. I'm very lucky.

So when we got back to her house, she excused herself to go upstairs and retrieve the gift she had picked up for me. She came back with an article of clothing and handed it to me, saying (in all seriousness), "I saw this and thought of you."

This top:

"Really?" I asked. "You saw this and thought of me?" "Well, you know," she said. "For when you go to bars and stuff."

Should I be worried that the first thing that comes to my mom's mind when she looks at a shirt promoting 3 different types of alcohol, is me? Her daughter? Oh, and by the way, she would never even fathom of buying my brother a shirt that endorses drinking. But me? Oh, well it just reminds her of me!

Oh well. I can't say I blame her. I think I'm going to wear it to our next family reunion.

Jim, Jack, Johnny Red, and Jose. Can't go wrong with either of them. They probably don't snore or leave the toilet seat up either.

That is hilarious! Quite the funny Mom you've got there. :)

hahaha! Your comment made me laugh out

Josh is either:
a) a really great guy with enough confidence in his manhood not to care about all of the pink
or
b) he secretly LOVES the bright pink, considering he has never complained about it at all

I'm hoping it's the first choice.
