There is a story behind this shirt. Years ago, when my father proposed marriage to my mother, he wore this shirt. Then, a few years later, Doug wanted to propose to my Aunt Barbara (my mother's younger sister). He conspired with my father to borrow the mushroom shirt for the occasion. The story goes (correct me if I'm wrong!) that when he showed up at the door wearing this shirt, my grandmother started crying because she just knew Doug was coming to propose to her youngest daughter. Tears of joy, of course.
Allie has wanted to get a hold of the shirt for years now, and my father came across it among his things during his recent move. And now she has it.
