Yes but his kids would know that too. Why would he tell his kids what they already know? Its not like theyd need the information that a person theyve known all their lives didnt have kids.
He didn't tell the kids like it was some sort of revelation to them. it was a narration device used to tell the audience.

This is a dumb theory. The light show at the end was because ted thinking there had to be something more than pole vaulting but that she wouldnt tell him.
No shite? I don't see your point here. And its not really a theory, its what the writers give to you spelled out loud as can be
quote:
Pole vaulting wasnt "a sandwich". .
Then You completely missed the point of why she brought up a "sandwich". The article is saying Robin is using "Pole Vaulting" as a metaphor for being a mother in the same way that a sandwich is a joint when future ted is talking to his kids
quote:
I dont think the kids mean anything because she was imagining what it would be like if her and barney had kids of their own.
Who said the imaginary kids mean anything?

Meh. Every other time they have done that to tell the audience he reveals it as if the kids have the familiarity that one would expect. "i.e. thats how I met your aunt robin". You could be right, but IMO its written in a way that leaves adoption open.

Her article. She said the hope is kept till the wathcer has the rug pulled out by saying the kids werent real.

Thats a dumb theroy. The writers write the sandwich metaphor to always be sandwich-whether the action is on screen or hes talking to his kids you can substitute marijuana for eating a sandwich it doesnt change anything except they were getting high instead of eating. If you substitute that she told them she cant have kids instead of her saying pole vaulting then none of the subsequent actions in the episode make any sense. At the end of the episode ted says "you dont have to tell me the real reason but Im still going to try to cheer you up anyways" and he makes the light show. Obviously he wouldnt say that if he knew she couldnt have kids.
