You tried to evade, but then lied outright. That's the technical truth.
I just re-read my original post. What she asked me and how I responded weren't captured 100% correctly. At the time I posted this, I was more interested in how well others in this community are adept at "thinking on their feet" when in unstructured and/or unexpected situations.
Back to this insistence on my lying. While I forgot (verbatim) what her actual question was, my response was actually something like: "Why would you ask that?". To which she replied (something like), "I don't know". I suppose this thread could continue along this line (of whether or not I should be more open with my daughter about one of my vices). Yet, I am much more interested in understanding the cognitive processing capabilities of others in the community.
Personaly I think your daughter knows your vice and knew you had been to a dispensary , She was just trying to get confirmation from you , and may of even been teasing you.
As for lying , Im a piss poor liar ( never really graduated from lying like a kid and having it written all over my face ). In your situation I would of also tried to protect my daughter from knowing what I get up to ( even if its legal ) so I possibly would of tried to bluff my way out of it. I have been very open with my daughter about my drug taking past only because I think education is the only way to let her know how bad things can get and that some people shouldn't use drugs. I also have a real problem with lying and honesty except when I am really unwell , then I will lie and decieve to try and hide how ill I am ( possibly cause Im scared of the men in the white coats coming to take me away ha ha he he ho ho ).
