Seriously?

I am just wondering if this is normal or something we have done with our parenting skills???

As some of you may know, Mike is going in for a vasectomy soon. We have made the decision that there will be no more babies coming from us and he has (THANKFULLY) opted to have himself snipped so I don't have to. More on that later, it deserves it's own blog.

Anyway, on the 3rd, we had a "consultation" which is really another word for group meeting to watch a video made in 1980 when men wearing short shorts and mullets were cool. Actually mullets may not have even been cool yet!?

So, Sierra and Cameron go with us. No we didn't take them in - Sierra kept Cameron out in the waiting room with her and pushed him around and played with him, doing the good big sister thing she always does.
At some point of use running around the hospital asking "Where is the Vasectomy Consultation?", Sierra asked "What is a vasectomy, is it for Daddy's eyes?". She knows he wants Lasik (or equivalent) surgery. I said "No honey , it isn't but we'll talk about it on the way home."
On the way home...
Mike - Sierra, you asked about a vasectomy?
Sierra - yeah but I was just wondering if it was for your eyes.
Mike - No, but do you want us to explain what it is?
Sierra - No, I don't care. I just thought it was for your eyes.
((My feelings at this point - WHAT? Who wouldn't be curious?))
Mike - So if something was wrong with me, you wouldn't want to know?
Sierra - (Not in a mean or rude kind of way at all) I don't care.. Well, I do care but I don't care.
Neither of us understand this. For the most part Sierra is a very thoughtful, caring and loving young lady but HATES talking about feelings or anything serious. I blame Mike for this but that's another story.

So this turns into a huge ordeal because as long as she gets to play outside when we get home, she really doesn't care.
I want to have somewhat of a conversation with her about this because in recent months I have discovered that she knows nothing about sex and she's going into 5th grade... you know where all the girls know everything?! I want her information to come from us, not from Suzy's big sister, whose friends cousin once heard, blah, blah, blah. Get what I'm saying?
My 10 year old really has no clue how babies are made.

Back to the main story here... what the hell? Why does she "not care" or does she just not want to talk about it? This is very frustrating to me. What if something really was wrong with him and she had this attitude? Did we do this? Is it just age? What?

So needless to say, we never got anywhere with this conversation and she still has no idea whats going on.
