Talk about weird

Ted: Oh, no. No, we’re, we’re not together. I mean we, we, dated for like a year but now we're just friends. It’s not weird.
Victoria: No. No, why would that be weird? I mean if you hung out every day that would be…
Ted: We… do.
Victoria: Still… not be weird. You know I don’t know anybody that hangs out with their ex every day.
Ted: Well, Barney does.
Victoria: Really?! Whose Barney’s ex-girlfriend?
Ted: Robin.
Victoria: Your Robin?
Ted: Mine and Barney’s. Yeah.
Victoria: You don’t… all-three-hang-out-together?
Ted: All the time!
Victoria: Andd we have weird.

The thing that's so charming about himym is that it's so carefully crafted to take us along on the story but brings us back around to the core meaning at the end, which was so casually disguised at the beginning of the episode combined with motifs scattered along the story path like bread crumbs. I've missed this show.
