Gears of War...is that what they call it now?!?

We were at a friend's house the other night, and at one point the conversation turned to talking about our neighbours and how they like to express their love to each other in the middle of the night. As Husband was talking about what we have experienced having them as neighbours (without actually coming right out and saying it), I realized that there was a 10 year old hearing our conversation so I gently suggested that the topic might not be appropriate for the boy. Husband quickly covered his tracks by saying "I am talking about her playing a video game. I think she plays Gears of War a lot." The boy got really excited when he heard mention of the video game, and said "Really? Do you watch her play?" Given the conversation just seconds earlier, this comment caused everyone, including the boy's mother, to bust up laughing. Husband responded "I haven't seen her play, but I hear her play, and she gets really excited about it." I am pretty sure we will never be invited back to that house!
