Local Lerp to origin

Question

This seems like it would be pretty simple, but I've tried about a dozen different things and can't get it to work. I have a cube that is a child of an empty world transform, so the cube's local position is 0,0,0; as is its rotation.

The cube has a rigidbody attached, so it gets bumped around and moves away from its original child position.

All I want to do is move this cube smoothly back it its local position of 0,0,0.

I can instantly move it with:

transform.localPosition = Vector3(0,0,0);

but this insta-move isn't the effect I'm looking for. I can't get lerp, slerp, or smoothdamp to move it correctly back to its child origin. Hope someone can help!

Not something like:

        transform.localPosition = Vector3.Lerp(transform.localPosition, Vector3.zero, Time.deltaTime);

I thought this would work too, but it seems to just move it to its current position :(

Are you sure you haven't updated it's parent's position by mistake?
