You know , my sisterinlaw likes to bring up topics that my Mom disagrees with and then fight with her about it . The rest of us think it is petty and stupid . My mom is all in all a pretty decent person , and she tends to be a bit blunt , but once you realize that is just how she is , she is very easy to get along with . It just seems odd that you would be deliberately disrespectful to your husbands matriarch . <| sep |> Eh , it ' s a little of both . And one is caused partially by the other . His chest is a couple inches wider due to his body building , but his arms are not longer . Also , all that muscle mass could be restricting his range of motion . But I think you ' re right and there ' s nothing that a little stretching couldn ' t help with .
