A Bedtime Fairy Tale: How I Met Your Mother, Twenty-Five Years Later (Dispatch 6)
About this episode
Jeff Krasno shares the true story of how he met his wife on their 25th wedding anniversary.
On his 25th wedding anniversary, Jeff tucks his daughter Micah into bed and tells her a fairy tale — except this one is true. It's the story of how he met her mother. In this episode, that story unfolds: a freshman art history class in 1988, a late entrance, a grapefruit, and instant infatuation. Jeff traces 25 years of courtship, marriage, and three daughters through fable, wit, and unvarnished tenderness, closing on a wish Micah won't fully understand until she's older. This is the fourth episode of Diaries of a Dance Dad, an audio memoir series in Jeff's own words. It spans the full arc of parenthood: the inhale of birth and early chaos, the grind of no sleep and travel with kids, the gut-punches of failure, and the slow exhale of letting go.
