But in the future, when Ted would know that she cant and doesn't have kids, he uses the phrase :pole vaulter" because it was used as a metaphor throughout the episode to mean "Robin cant have kids"

And I acknowledged that could be very possible. IMO though it doesnt keep with how the writers have written those lines. JMO but he said it in a way that he was conveying to the kids new information when they being close to robin and barney would know if they had kids or not. This doesnt keep with past episodes where the writers have revealed new information to the audience (such as robin not being the wife) by referring to what would be familiar information to the kids.


No matter what it doesnt excuse the fact that Robin hasnt told barney that shes infertile.
