The writers referenced her at least twice that I can think of and they made it a point of stating that she was a student at the college where Ted teaches and that she has an apartment in Manhattan. I can easily see Ted's wife (or the mother of his kids atleast) being Barney's half sister. Because this is a sitcom (why you people would try to make a sitcom like How I Met Your Mother make sense when it is absurd beyond belief to begin with makes me question all of your combined sanity this winter) I can further see Barney's sister being the bass player in the band who plays at his wedding and through this fate or "sitcom magic" he gets the family he always wanted. I bet his father who basically disowned him shows up at the wedding.
And sure I have called people Auntie who weren't actually blood relatives but from a writer's stand point I view this as a clue because this sh*t aint Shakespeare or Updike or even Chabon or Franzen. It is a stupid as$ sitcom that I watched because Barney on occasion makes me laugh and other than cartoons and The Big Bang Theory and Colbert nothing on tv makes me laugh so my DVR is set to record it.
Barney's half sister being the "proverbial mother" is pretty darn crazy and far fetched but it would make more sense than LOST's and Seinfeld's finales by alot.
I knew this girl made of memories and phrases, who lived her whole life in both chapters and stages.
Danced 'til the dawn, wished all her worries away.
She's a long way from a West Nashville grand ballroom gown.
