We may have had to wait an extra three weeks thanks to our President, but on last night's How I Met Your Mother, we finally got to meet Barney's mother, wife and child in one amazing episode.  So why did Barney hide his wife and kid from the gang for so long?

Well because he hired them just to impress his mother, of course!  Barney's devious actions were actually done for good for once as he told his sick mother that he found love in order to make what he thought was a dying woman happy.  Find out what happenes when you lie to your mother our "The Stinsons" recap.

Here's some of our favorite quotes from this great episode:

Ted: Where does this woman live?
Robin: We're talking about a woman that actually Barney Stinson to commit, I'm guessing Narnia | permalink

Woman: You said that if I slept with you my son would get the part
Barney: Well apparently I'm a better actor than your kid | permalink

Loretta (Barney's Mom): Barney, when you were three I left you with a babysitter and spent three weeks with Grand Funk Railroad being passed around like a bong | permalink
