She's extremely proud of them despite everything, even if she's always more subdued in these situations than most people should be. She should be willing to talk them up, talk about them as much as possible. But she doesn't.
It's true, though, that Tsunade really did throw them all for a loop. In the most positive way she can think of, but how much trauma did she have to go through to get there? Too much, from what she does know, she doesn't know of the extra trauma added on later in life. But that's the life of a shinobi, you don't get the luxury of getting out unscathed.
"They did. All I did was keep a fox in check and raise them." Her tone is rather neutral, despite how freely she'd been talking previously. "Sealing really isn't that interesting of a thing or really worth remembering." As if that's what she was really known for, but that's how she prefers to pretend.
"But that's enough of... my everything. Do tell me more about your boy, you've only told me bits and pieces, you know. Not even a name." Best deflection.
