Hammer & Screwdriver Mkdir fails when defined and called with functions.

In the below script i found that the alias mkdir_s is getting invoked from function configure() i.e the alias is kicking in.

Code:
#!/bin/bash -e
shopt -s expand_aliases

alias mkdir=mkdir_s
mkdir_s(){
if [[ -d $1 ]]; then
return
else
/usr/bin/mkdir "$1"
return
fi
}

configure()
{
mkdir -p /tmp/logs
}

configure

Inside the mkdir_s function it is also able to check the condition if the directory does not exist and executes the mkdir command. but then, I get the following error as the output.

Quote:
mkdir: usage: mkdir [-m mode] [-p] dirname ...

Can you please explain why and what is the fix ?
