I am at the beach with my parents and other family members, and had the following conversation with my dad.
Dad: Hey, YSA. Do you notice anything about this shirt I am wearing?
YSA: (Noticing striped golf shirt, but not seeing anything particularly interesting about it) No...
Dad: Do these stripes make me look fat?
YSA: No--hey, your shirt is on inside out.
Dad: That is right!
YSA: Hey, what is the deal? Was that some kind of test?
Dad: (Taking shirt off and putting it on right side out) Humph.
YSA: What was that, the final test? Like, 'Now that you have passed The Shirt Test, you are officially an adult'?
Dad: (Finishing putting shirt back on) No. That was a test to see if you are alive!
YSA: Dad, your shirt is on backwards now!
Dad: (Trying to fix backward shirt) Mmph.

I'm thinking your dad was wearing his shirt inside-out all day and your mom didn't notice or tell him. And then he realized and was like "Why didn't you tell me?" And she said, "I didn't notice. Honestly, it's hard to tell whether it's inside out or not." And then he went to you.
If you hadn't noticed the backwards thing, you could have had the "backwards shirt test" later.
Wait, passing The Shirt Test is how you become an adult?
Tom seems to weirdly often be able to figure out what my Dad is talking about. I think it's because he has a lot of experience with Peter.
Or it's the inferior male brain that we don't lower ourselves to understand.
I once had a date with a guy who was wearing his shirt inside out.
