Rainbows: Where's the poop?

"How I Met Your Mother" is generally awesome, and this week was another funny and smart take on the lives of twenty-somethings in New York City.

At the end of season four, Robin ended a relationship with Don. This was a big moment for Robin because she was finally fully committing to an adult relationship with someone she really cared about.Unfortunately, Don took a broadcasting job in Chicago leaving Robin to be forced to watch his news show every night. Robin admits to her friends that she has been making threatening phone calls to Don. With this information, Lily demands that Robin delete his number.

This is where the conflict arises. Robin pretends to delete his number, but Lily knows when Robin has called Don. She compares this sense to her childhood dog, who had a shameful "where's the poop" face every time he did his business inside the house. Every time that Robin calls Don, Lily asks her "Where's the poop?"

I imagine that it must look like this:
Though this episode did not solve the mystery of Ted's wife, it resolved the relationship between Robin and Don. It was another humorous look into the characters I love to watch, and another expression to use with my friends. Next time I suspect that they are up to no good, I will ask, "Where's the poop?"

If you haven't seen the episode yet, do not worry because it is online!
