My eldest daughter just called. One of her friends is turning 18, and they wanted directions to one of the local juice bar strip clubs. When I asked why she was asking me, there was just a long pause, followed by "Seriously, Dad?"
I got busted too. About 9 years ago when my kids were still living at home. I came home from work one night and my daughter said "FEDEX dropped off a package for you. It's by the stairs". I went and opened it. It was flowers and a thank you note from my ATF. "Oh fuck. How do I explain this?" I lied. Made up a bull shit story about my union sending them to me. I couldn't live with the lie and a few days later, I told my daughter that they were from a lady friend in Columbia. To which she responded "Dad, these are expensive flowers. You must be a really good tipper". It worked out in the end. I don't have to lie anymore about where I am going and what I am going to do when I get there.
Great story, George! Once my girlfriend arranged a trip for me to San Francisco so that I could go to the clubs there. When I got back, she got what she was hoping for.
To be fair, I've never really denied going to clubs, though I never confirmed it either. I *have* made jokes about it on occasion, based Heinlein's theory that one of the best ways to lie is to simply tell the truth in such a way that no one believes it. Apparently, she's too smart for that.
As for going with her, I actually did consider going to a nearby regular bar, just to be near in case she needed something, but she declined my offer. They were with some of their guy friends I believe to be decent, if not saintly, and it appeared to work out.
She say they had a blast, but when I asked if the birthday girl was pulled up on stage and stripped, which is the general practice there, she said yes to the first, but no to the second. That would be surprising, IME there. Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on one's viewpoint, my kids got their poker faced decepticon skills from their from their father's side of the family, so I'll have to wait until I talk to the birthday girl herself, one one of the other party members, to see if I can ferret it out of them.

I was on a business trip with two other co-workers. They wanted to go out to eat at a regular bar that evening. I ditched them and went to a strip club instead. The next day they asked what happened to me. With a straight face I told them I went to the strip club. There was a moment of stunned silence, then they looked at each other and burst out laughing.
"Yeah, right, Steve, you at a strip club, that's a good one!" They asked what really happened, so I told them I was watching TV and fell asleep. They said yeah, that sounds more like it.
