If it wasn't outright shown that she had blonde hair, it was at least intimated, because I thought she was going to be a blonde also.

I brought this up a couple weeks ago, and i dont think we ever confirmed or denied it

It could just be the yellow umbrella throwing us off but i definitely thought she was but i could definitely be wrong

I did find this about the mother on Wiki:
quote:

In "Wait for It", it is revealed that the short story of how they met involved her yellow umbrella. In "No Tomorrow", Ted finds the umbrella at a club and takes it home after attending a St. Patrick's Day party which she also attended but at which they did not meet. Future Ted strongly implies that his wife is not blonde, telling his children in "Shelter Island" that had he married the blonde Stella, they would have turned out to be blond (his children are both, like Ted, brunettes).

..but I swear I thought I remembered them showing her from the back/side and she was blonde. No camera tricks or whatever, but that she literally had blonde hair. Not sure what I am remembering if it's not the mom though..

I have the same recollection, but chicks color their hair often enough that it's easy to explain away if they changed directions.

I saw the episode "Miracles" a few weeks ago, and just noticed this on the plot summary:
quote:

Lily calls Barney to tell him about Ted's accident, but he hangs up before she can tell him that Ted is fine. He skips an important business meeting and when he misses a cab, Barney begins running to the hospital. He ends up getting hit by a bus driving the wrong way near the hospital, but survives, even though he has broken nearly all the bones in his body. Touched that Barney was so concerned about him, Ted finally reconciles with Barney. Marshall and Lily joke about what Barney must have seen when he was hit by the bus, but notice that he is looking at Robin as they mention seeing all the things that he loves.

That was episode 20 of season three. So there have prolly been underlying Barney/Robin hints throughout the series I imagine.

I don't think they have ever shown more than her legs or being clothed under her umbrella. I don't recall her ever showing her hair. I always thought she was a brunette.

Didn't they show her in Rachel Bilson's apartment at one time? Maybe we just saw legs that time though, if I'm even remembering that correctly.

Wouldn't it stand to reason if both parents have brown hair the kids would be more likely brunette?

Me too. As I've said before, she's top of my celebrity list.

Plus she's a lesbian on the show. We definitely need more of her.

He said it as if that ruled out the possibility of the kids being blond or the mother being blond

If they bring back her, they need to bring back the other part of the epic threesome. Danica McKellar.

The threesome girls were Danica McKellar and Busy Phillips. Rachel Bilson was much later.

ETA: Kaylee DeFer is the girl who plays Bilson's girlfriend on the show. She could definitely get it.

ETAA: And Kaylee DeFer is the blonde that was in the bar with Bilson when Ted thought it was her roommate, which is probably the genesis of my confusion about the hair color.

I never understood how Busy Phillips could be mistaken as a hot girl
