As the title suggests, the How I Met Your Mother season 6 episode 6 titled Baby Talk revolves around the topic of babies. In this episode, Lily's pregnancy is causing her to have some strange cravings lately, and Marshall and Barney vow to fulfill them no matter how weird they may seem. Ted, on the other hand, is trying to avoid getting involved in his friends' baby talk as he thinks it's far too early to be discussing baby names, and he has no intention of having children anytime soon.
Meanwhile, Robin is freaking out over the thought of holding a baby shower, as she has never been to one before and has no idea what to expect. She seeks advice from the guys, but ends up getting very different and conflicting answers from each of them, leaving her more confused than ever. Eventually, she decides to take matters into her own hands and plans a unique baby shower that doesn't conform to traditional notions of what a baby shower should be.
Throughout the episode, there are also several flashbacks to when the gang was younger, highlighting their differing attitudes towards parenting and children. These flashbacks offer a glimpse into how their current views on children may have been shaped by their past experiences and relationships.
As always, the episode is filled with witty banter, comedic misadventures, and heartwarming moments that remind us why we fell in love with the characters in the first place. It's a fun and lighthearted episode that explores the theme of parenthood in a way that is relatable and approachable for viewers of all ages. Whether you're a parent yourself or simply someone who enjoys a good laugh, How I Met Your Mother season 6 episode 6 is definitely worth watching.
