Something next to normal, that's the thing I'd like to try

There are reports that the creators of HIMYM are now in talks about a series called "How I Met Your Father".

I have this vision:

Mother: I'm going to tell you the story of how I met your father.
Kids: Please tell us this isn't going to be as long as Dad's story.

Seven seasons later, the kids stage an intervention:

Kids: Mom, Dad, we love you both but you HAVE to learn to tell shorter stories.

(Although apparently they've already said that the two shows wouldn't share casts, although they may share the MacLaren's settting.)
