Future Ted: [v.o.] OK, where were we? It was June 2006 and life had just taken an unexpected turn.
Daughter: Can't you just skip ahead to the part where you meet Mom? I feel you've been talking for, like, a year
Future Ted: Honey, all this stuff I'm telling you is important. It's all part of the story.
Son: Can I go to the bathroom?
Future Ted: No. The summer of 2006 was both wonderful and awful. For me, it started out great. In fact, day one was amazing. I'd finally gotten together with Robin. But while I'd been off having one of the best nights of my life, your Uncle Marshall had been having one of the worst nights of his.
