"weak arms"

Reject a woman, and she will never let it go.
One of the many defects of their kind.
Also, weak arms.
-Dwight Shrute

Jesse: I got to hold a little baby today.  My arms are killing me!  Remind me whenever I'm pregnant to start lifting.
Jared: Ok.  You should probably start now.
Jesse: [in my head] What does he mean?  Does he mean we can get pregnant soon?
[out loud] No.
Jared: Well, it seems like the kind of strength that develops when you need it.
Jesse: Hm!  I'm mad.

Jared: I still remember the day I beat my dad arm-wrestling.  Ha!  It wasn't until college, though, I couldn't believe it.  It's that dad super-power.  I can't WAIT to access that. 
Jesse: Moms don't have that.  Moms have the super-power of finding things.  I look and look through a drawer for something and my mom comes over, 'it's right here you dummy.'

Oh I MUST be pregnant because I so have the super power of finding things.

Thomas (bless his heart) can look for something forever and not find and I walk right over and pick it up.

I must not be a real mom. I cannot find things. I actually am worse at finding things now than I was before A. was born. Maybe you get it later? I do have weak arms.

Clayton has this disease, too! He looks for things right in front of his eyes and can't find them...
