Did you think _How I Met Your Mother_‘s Ted Mosby had the emotional maturity of a toddler? In a new video from Mumbai-based comedy channel [Romedy Now](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCn9cSLAPpm5lxU3mN1iyOaw) he _is_ a toddler, which makes him not only tolerable, but downright adorable.

The video recasts the entire crew from _How I Met Your Mother_ as adorable half-pints looking for love among the fingerpaints and fishsticks at a pint-sized tea party hosted at a kid-friendly version of MacLaren’s, which is not strange at all. Fans will note that baby Barney has as much swagger as his full-grown counterpart.

Sadly, the creators did not use the opportunity provided by the new and far more adorable cast to re-imagine [the series’ fan-frustrating ending](http://time.com/44702/how-i-met-your-mother-finale-review/). Coming up with an ending that will appease fans who stuck with _How I Met Your Mother_ for nine seasons will have to be left to fan fiction.
