My wife likes to tell me the story of how her and her younger sister were ‘accidents’.
When we first met I was shocked at how she described her and her sister’s conception; “we were accidents”, she would say. I questioned her parents’ psychology and what kind of creeps would tell their own kids that…not when they were angry…all the damn time! It was normal to them. I remember in the beginning thinking to myself, wtf is wrong with these scumbags?
As it turned out, after her parents’ third child (3rd boy), her dad elected for a vasectomy vs. his wife getting her tubes tied. I’m sure they kept pounding away for years and then one day, her mom finds out that she’s pregnant.
I still hear her tell people to this day that, “he had a vasectomy but it just wouldn’t take.” Almost sounds very manly (as in, 'not even a doctor’s scalpel can stop my balls from making sperm!) and yet very strange…‘wouldn’t take’ sounds as if he had a transplant or blood transfusion.
Granted, English is not her parent’s first language, but they speak it fluently, don’t have any accent (lived in US for over 40 years now) and I know THEY KNOW that there was/is a better way to phrase their daughter’s conception. I still have a slight disdain toward them for making their daughters comfortable walking around willy-nilly telling people, “I was an accident!” with a smile on their faces.
Not “you two were wonderful mistakes”, not “we weren’t planning on having you”, not even “the doctor must not have done a complete job with the vasectomy, and that’s why we have you two”…just, “you two were a mistake”.
Sorry for the de-railing with my anecdote.
I’d never let a doc open up my sack and snip and sew me back up. Too afraid of a jokester doc telling me he accidentally cut my dick and or balls off, or he just realized I wasn’t getting gender ‘reassignment surgery’, etc. Also a phobia of it never working again, no more orgasms, etc etc etc.
Still want 1 or 2 more kids anyways. I told my wife to get off the pill years ago as it made her into a bitch so I’ll either start TRT or convince her to get her tubes tied eventually.
As an aside, she is Mexican. For those that haven’t been with a Mexican woman, there are many a joke about the sheer ease of getting one of them pregnant. Thus, I constantly joke that when when my wife wants another kid, I’ll give her the ‘special’ look and she can buy a pregnancy test a month from then.
Growing up, Mexican girls always seemed to gravitate toward me and were always more open about being attracted to me than white girls (I’m white). My father’s best friend would always pull me aside as if he were about to give me a serious talk and say, “You know you gotta be careful around those Mexican girls, all it takes is direct eye contact with them for a couple of seconds and then BAM! They’re pregnant with twins and your life is over! Wrap it up 3 times at least if you hold hands too…”
