Fantastic story: My 14 and 13 yr olds were then 7 and 6. I had 4 PC's in my house and all were networked. So, I'm on one PC, my wife, 7 yr old daughter, and 6 yr old son are on the other PC's. We've all got headsets on for comms and we're ripping through some Serious Sam. We get in this hardcore throw down to where all of us are: (a) seriously jacked up health-wise and (b) damn-near out of ammo for every weapon.

We go scouting and I find a huge stash of health and ammo. I announce it to the others and my 7 yr old daughter says: "Daddy, don't get that ammo. I NEED IT! All I have left is this pussy knife!"

You could hear a flea fart.... I say, "Um, honey. What did you say?" She repeats it with a tone of both: (a) This is what I said and I meant it and (b) You're a doofus for not knowing what I said. I said "Honey, where'd you hear that?" She relates that she heard someone frequently say the word when she stays with her bio mom (my ex) during the summers. And, I, of course, had to tell her that we just don't say that word. But, I'll be DAMNED if that wasn't one of the funniest things I'd ever heard!

We 4 also beat all of Dungeon Siege and Serious Sam 2. I'd take either of those on XBL any day, too!
