Word for being used to surprises

I can't make Google understand the question, so I'll just summarize the scene here for actual human interpretation.

Three people and a wolf in a car.
Mother smiles and has to explain to her daughter in the back why: "I was just thinking about my funeral."
"The worst part is that I'm not surprised."
"Wouldn't it be funny, though? All of you gathered for my funeral, in our own backyard, and in the crowd there’s God, the Devil, and a pack of wolves.”
“I still wouldn’t be surprised.”
"Yeah, but you're [WHAT WORD?] You grew up with this."

The daughter is nonchalant? Nonplussed? Aloof? I tried "spoiled" but that's not the right tone...
There's one particular word I'm looking for, and I'll know it when I see it, but I'm not seeing it. She grew up with her parents being friends with God and the Devil. She is not impressed with things that would impress regular people.
 
I respect ignoring the browser's default spell check every now and again, which based on your spelling of defence tells me you might have to do routinely (you must be UK/Canadian?).
God no! Irish troo an' troo.
The spellcheck didn't warn me, surprisingly. I did notice after posting but figured someone would correct it. With all our little errors, it's important to be:
unflappable
numbed to it
familiar
immutable
apathetic
conditioned
complicit
undiscombobulatable...
 
Often it's helpful to broaden the question or perspective in a quest like this.

Someone who is unflappable is insensitive to surprises without even needing to include the word "surprise."

I've often found the word or answer I was looking for was close at hand all along, but obscured by a bias in my framing of the problem or question.
