Bro-Parents?

Marshall and Lily are about to sell the house in Long Island. They go in to see the fake furniture and how the realtor has set it up. They are instantly in love. Lily likes the idea of having her family grow up there and Marshall is more interested in smashing it with sledge hammers. I actually love this reference to the difference between the city and the suburbs. Once they leave the big house and back to their once spacious apartment they realize that their apartment is tiny and they keep tripping over things and Robyn keeps breaking lamps.

Robyn has an extra annoying part this episode. 1. Where is Kevin? 2. Why is her haircut so ugly lately? 3. I don't think a black and white shirt with maroon pants is stylish on anyone. She doesn't want them to move so she is on them like white on rice. They decide to host Thanksgiving at their new house anyways. She ends up locking herself in the bathroom the minute they get there, saying she won't come out if they decide to move (Good thing we have three bathrooms! - says Marshall)

Back at the bar, Ted and Barney are getting sloshed. Future Ted prefaces this scene by telling his kids they are both at bad places in their lives and they are both about to do something crazy. They decide they want to adopt a child and be bro-parents. I love the terminology on this show. It never gets old and it never wanes. (keep it consistent!) They talk about why it would be great and how it would great to be gay. (Funny to everyone who knows that the real life Barney is GAY)  They start to fill out an online application for a child and Barney goes off about ninja swords and death stars and cobras as snakes, when Ted realizes they are not ready for this. Barney also gets dibs on all 3 faux nannies and Ted's job is considered a hobby to him. haha. Barney shows up with a bouncing baby girl in a snuggly on his chest. They head to the Island with baby in tow.

Back at the house, a cheese platter is mentioned and Robyn is still in the bathroom. Ted and Barney show up with their child whom they dub "Hurricane Stinson-Mosby" and don't have diapers for her. Barney runs out to get wee wee pads and a pork bone from a pet store. Um not the same thing. James, Barney's gay brother, shows up with his partner and their kid asking for his baby Sadie back. Barney only borrowed her to show that this plan could work, which actually showed how it backfired.

Barney climbs through the window to the bathroom to ask Robyn if they are OK (She chose another guy over him last episode) and to tell him that Ted is the one who concocted this crazy baby plan and starts talking about babies and then in my head I am thinking - babies foreshadow moment. BTW I love how Lily's bump is showing, makes it more real.

"I'm pregnant" out of Robyn's mouth - and we ALL know who the father may be. Cliffhanger = success! I love when they keep ending all the shows with Barney and Robyn scenarios. It makes this show more of a need to see what happens type!
