[ ME ]Hey mom are you going to the store?
[MY MOM]Yeah, you need anything?
[ ME ]Yeah, I need some Vaseline.
[MY MOM]HAHAHHAAHAAHHHAAA{busts out laughing}
[ ME ]What?!?
[MY MOM]What the world do you need VASELINE for?!?!?!
[ ME ]To lube my Rubik's Cube.
[MY MOM]Suuuurree{sarcastically}
[ ME ]Ohh and some Silicon spray.
[MY MOM]{her face}→o_O
[ ME ]Well if I leave the petroleum jelly on too long it'll mess up the pieces.
[ ME ]I just need it on for a while to smooth out the sanding ridges.
[MY MOM]You sanded it?
[ ME ]Yeah, to slightly downsize and reshape the pieces into slightly better ones.
[MY MOM]How did you sand it? Didn't it hurt and like, bleed everywhere?!?!
[ ME ]Mom! I'm not talking about THAT. I'm talking about my RUBIK'S CUBE!!!
[MY MOM]Oooohhhhh. Ookkkk. {sarcastically again}
[ ME ]Shut up.
[MY MOM] {leaves to go to the store for "about half an hour"}
2 HOURS LATER...
[ ME ]Bout' time WOMAN.
[MY MOM]Here's your lube. {hands me the vaseline}
[ ME ]Shut up you Crazy Jungle Lady**.
[MY MOM]And, here's your spray lube. {hands me the silicon}
[ ME ]Whatever. {semisarcastically}
[MY MOM]Go have fun with your toys! {chuckles}
[ ME ]Go have fun being an annoying b*tch! {mumbled quietly when in other room}


Which is why I hate the whole "lube" thing.



**I often call her "Crazy Jungle Lady" because she once wore this dress. (Shown in attached picture.)

Noncubers FTL! I get that all the time. I would say "lube" or "lubricant" to one of my cubing friends and when someone else overhears they are like "Ew, you use that?!". People these days can't stop thinking about that stuff.

I'll gladly say lube to non-cubers. If they choose to completely misinterpret what lubricant means that's not my fault.

lubricant (plural lubricants)
A substance used to reduce friction between objects or surfaces.

Doesn't imply sex at all.
