I thought it would be kind of interesting to see just how much we know about Barney's parents even though we only see his mother once in the entire show.

Well, off the top of my head I recall Barney pat-searching his Mother at a check point on the road when a fugitive was on the loose(Can't be too carefull you know) That's the only time I ever saw her. But he does mention her a few times: Can't wear a hat after it's been on somebody else's head is one, and her side of the family were the fun-ones. That's all I can muster right now. As for his Dad; I know he used to smoke a pipe because he would let Barney strike a match on 'that rock from the old chest, and he would light it for him. That's all I can remember right now. Somebody else should come up with a few more items.

They got a septic tank as a gift from Barney one year -- for their anniversary? Andy said, "You're a good son."
Well they're real hard to shop for.
Something I’ve studied about....aren’t septic tanks kind of pricey for a man of limited means?
I expect so. Not only does Barney have limited means but he's very careful with his money.
I guess that just shows what a good son he really is, that thing would represent a lot of chilli in his room and diner specials.
Barney did not like to wear a hat that was on somebody else’s head. His mother was like that too.
Barney's mother had a clock in her stomach.
I remember Barney talking about how he was a lot bigger than his father.
Oh I missed that, that's hilarious.
He mentions once that his father would send him to the cellar to sift ashes.
