Mom: How was your workout?

Me: It was good.

Mom: Good.

Me: Yeah, it was so good I had sweat balls on my arms.

Mom: What?

Me: I said I had sweat balls on my arms, that’s how good I worked out.

Mom: What are you trying to say?

Me: Huh?

Mom: I don’t understand what you’re trying to tell me.

Me: You asked me how my workout was, and I’m telling you it was so good that I had sweat balls on my arms. Get it?

Mom: No

Me: Like most people sweat from their faces or their chest or back or something. But I had sweat balls on my arms.

Mom: Are you referring to beads of sweat as “sweat balls?”

Mom: Oh yeah! That’s what I was thinking of but I forgot the proper term.

Mom: Please don’t say that at my school.

Me: Why would I come to your school and randomly say “sweat balls?”

Mom: Maybe you wouldn’t, but sometimes you’re unpredictable. Consider this your warning.

My mom would have heard “Sweat” and “Balls” and she’d probably think I was saying something sexual. Then she would’ve smacked me.

so a few days ago i had ‘sweat balls’ on my arm, and i couldnt think of the proper term for it, just sweat balls.

everyone was looking at me weird when i said i had sweat balls on my arm.
