Possibly the most embarrassing thing that’s ever happened to anyone, ever... cheer me up with your shame ;)

This happened yesterday and I haven’t told anyone because I am mortified, but it’s getting to the point where it’s slightly amusing so I thought I’d share my shame with you all.

So my son is obsessed with bubbles. And being the obsessive person I am, I started researching how to make the best, giant bubbles. I’ve been using premade solution which is insanely pricey and you get through it quick. So I started researching how to make the best giant bubble mix.

Being a geek I was quite fascinated reading about the science and what works best. Turns out that adding lubricant is one of the best ways to make excellent giant bubble mix.

Not just any old lube, but J-Lube - an American powdered lubricant often used by vets, but which also has a reputation as the best thing for certain niche acts, apparently.

I tracked down a small quantity on eBay and placed an order, ignoring the listing’s title.

Yesterday our health visitor and a paediatric nurse case round to talk about the twins. I was showing them a video on my phone of the boys when this notification popped up.

I know they both saw it but they very politely said nothing. I am wondering which word caught their eye first - gay, anal, fetish or fisting?

I’ve been embarassed many times in my life but this definitely wins. I really wanted to tell “it’s just for bubbles!” But I think that may have made matters worse.

How do I ever face these women again?

Please tell me your shameful stories so I can feel better about mine Blush

Okay, now I’m curious... 😂

Grin

Fisting tales a go go, obvs.

Actually it's worse.

It's... poetry. Blush

Itactuallyneverends · 08/06/2019 23:01

This is utter GOLD ! Thanks OP!!

SinkGirl · 08/06/2019 23:07

Oh god, not poetry. That’s way worse 😂

Kidding. (As long as it’s good, obviously)

You’re more than welcome - I aim to please (but not by fisting, in case that was unclear).

I really want to make some bubbles now. Everything is here except for the industrial size bottle of fairy liquid and apparently the cheap crap I normally use won’t work as well. I need to make a concentrate first and don’t want to waste the lube on sub-par detergent (is a sentence I never thought I would write).

Won’t be able to get any tomorrow (can’t take my pox-ridden twins out) so hopefully it will arrive Monday and the weather will be bubble-optimal. That’ll show the doubters.

All this “you only need glycerine” stuff is annoying me - clearly my definition of giant bubbles and theirs is quite different 😂

SinkGirl · 09/06/2019 00:18

Dual purpose I guess (although by the time you’ve mixed it with fairy liquid and baking powder it might not be ideal for fisting Grin)

SinkGirl · 09/06/2019 12:23

Bubble supplies almost all here - just waiting on fairy liquid and some wire now. Hopefully I’ll have some giant lube bubbles to show you all soon Grin

I confess I'm getting excited.

You're that lovely ginger man who stands outside the Natural History Museum yelling BUBBLES FOR KIDS in a Slavic accent, aren't you?

Actually, I don't want to doxx you, you don't have to confirm or deny anything.

I'll just sit here knowing.

SinkGirl · 09/06/2019 12:42

I wish. Those London bubble dudes are amazing (as with all industries, the best and brightest are drawn to the big cities Grin)

I’m just hoping my boys will let me put them in a bubble, I’m going to be so disappointed if they don’t (maybe I can stand on a step ladder and put DH in a bubble 😂)

Even though it’s not the case, I’m amusing myself thinking about someone getting caught out buying anal fisting lube and then having to become a professional bubbleologist just to cover their tracks 😂

RiversDisguise · 09/06/2019 12:47

There is so, so much pathos in that, OP.

SinkGirl · 09/06/2019 13:01

Having to give up her career to wear a waistcoat and bow tie, standing in the park sadly making enormous bubbles when she could be performing cardiac surgery... sob

RiversDisguise · 09/06/2019 13:34

This is more moving than a Hallmark movie starring Farrah Fawcett, OP. Even sadder than the one where she has to adopt life-affirming piglets after her boyfriend is mutilated in a machinery mishap.

In fairness, though, you have to see it from the heart patient's point of view too. It could be Christiaan Barnard himself wielding the scalpel, but there's a time and a place for anal fisting all the same!

Why, she added casually, do you want to encase your family in bubbles?

SinkGirl · 09/06/2019 15:12

I mean look at this kid’s face! Who wouldn’t want to be put in a bubble (very possibly my kids actually, but we shall see)

It’s so popular that it even has an MN-style acronym: KIB (kid in bubble)

Possibly the most embarrassing thing that’s ever happened to anyone, ever... cheer me up with your shame ;)

Grin YANBU. That kid looks as happy as a pig in Surrey.

spicypickle · 10/06/2019 08:39

@SinkGirl I hate to say this but it reminds me of a giant condom Blush

DarlingNikita · 10/06/2019 11:17

'as happy as a pig in Surrey.'

Is that a real saying or a typo? I love it either way Grin

aposterhasnoname · 10/06/2019 11:31

I did exactly what findmeatyoga did, got confused going to the loo in a hotel room and locked myself out of the room. Only difference is I was completely naked, and there was a cctv camera pointing straight at meBlush

Lovethetimeyouhave · 10/06/2019 15:50

Oh I've done similar...

I had sent dh a video of a man wanking, dh had actually asked for it and it was a while back that it was sent.

So we're abroad in Austria and I'm trying to put the friends wifi password into my phone, but needed to go into DH's chat to see something, the friend is looking over my shoulder as I open the chat and there is the video and it's doing that play thing so its playing without sound!!!! I just scroll up and dont mention it 🤣

Butterflyhulk · 11/06/2019 20:47

I'm just placemarking so I can come back for updates on your bubble making skills Grin

RiversDisguise · 12/06/2019 03:26

@DarlingNikita just something I say I think, haha.

I too wonder how OP got on.

Visions of Casa SinkGirl engulfed in soap suds!

Santasballsack · 12/06/2019 09:44

Definitely place marking for bubbles.

DarlingNikita · 12/06/2019 10:13

RiversDisguise, I thought it might be a typo for 'a pig in slurry' but I like your version Grin

SinkGirl · 12/06/2019 11:22

I’m so sorry everyone - DT1 is so ill with chicken pox, I’ve been carrying him around permanently for the last 48 hours and dealing with temps hotter than the sun. Plus rain and bubble don’t mix. I have everything I need including a kid in a bubble hoop (woot - thank goodness for amazon vouchers!) so hopefully by the weekend I can experiment (unless DT2 gets the pox first!)

I promise I will be back with lububbles (I might have to trademark that Grin)

OP posts:
SinkGirl · 15/06/2019 13:19

Finally got around to making my mix - unfortunately it’s too rainy for effective giant bubbling but I made a thread here if anyone else wants to make giant bubbles (you don’t have to order fisting lube, there are other options Grin)

This makes some pretty stringy goo - not sure I would want to put it near my bum Grin
