Are these comments unnecessary and goading

I am not sure if I'm being sensitive here and reading into this.

I have been with DH for 13 years and we have young children. My mum and DH don't particularly like each other, not that either would admit! Nothing has happened they just don't have much in common and neither makes much effort but they are pleasant to one and another.

DH and I have had a few rough patches in the last couple of years and he's not the most of romantic people. Which my mum is fully aware of.

DH has been away with work since Saturday morning and is due back tonight. When speaking on the phone with my mum this evening and saying he is back this evening she replied oh have you got butterfly's waiting for him? My reply was no he's only been gone 2 nights. Oh well you must have been pining for him. I kind of cut the conversation dead and soon finished the call.

Ofc I have missed my husband and im
Looking forward to seeing him but butterfly's and pining is a bit much imo. I just feel like it was unnecessary comments to make and to maybe get a reaction out of me?

AIBU to feel annoyed?

How old is your mum? It sounds like something you might say to a teenager if her bf had been away for a while but not an adult who’d been married 13 years. Maybe she just said it for something to say, or thought it was the thing to say not realising it sounds weird. Don’t think you need to read anything into it. It’s not something I’d say to either of my daughters about their husbands.
