The apple doesn't fall far from the tree

For her birthday, Amy asked for this "Heavenly Help-Mates" shirt.

Well I certainly have no idea what this is about. Evidently it's related to the Flash comics. Not that this description really helps me, but....

Become an official member of the prestigious Heaven Help-Mates with this beautiful, hand-photoshopped shirt! Now it's not just Mopee who gets to be an all-powerful entity that controls anything and everything in the multiverse.

She also has this purple "SPQR" shirt.

This is a little more understandable to me, it's related to the Percy Jackson series of books that Amy loves, The Heroes of Olympus, by Rick Riordan. That much I knew! And then...

SPQR is an initialism from a Latin phrase, Senatus Populusque Romanus, which was the motto of the Roman Empire and translates to "The Senate and People of Rome".

So she has these shirts and pretty much no one knows what they're about. Or they're like a secret decoder ring to find "her people" who know what these things are. I've heard a couple of people mention her Camp Jupiter shirt, but so far none who 'get' her Flash shirt. But that's how she likes it! And it's part of what makes her her.

Then one day I got a package in the mail. It was a t-shirt I ordered...

And I was so excited! The shirt is for a podcast I listen to, Pod Save America (which is hosted by former Obama staffers). And I also realized that few people would 'get' my shirt. But I also like it that way!

So I guess we're kind of two peas in a pod. (GET IT?! podcast pun!)
