The Zoo

I went out for dinner with about 20 of my new colleagues on Sunday. At one point, I was chatting with one about what we'd been up to for the weekend. She told me she'd been to the zoo. I replied enthusiastically that I'd been to the zoo too, and loved it. She said, "We'll have to go, then. No one else seems to be particularly bothered about going."

I thought that this was a bit odd for a couple of reasons. Firstly, if you've already been to the zoo, why would you want to go again so soon? Secondly, I couldn't believe that no one else wanted to go. There must be someone else interested in seeing free ranging animals (it's a very humane zoo, if such a thing exists).

She then started talking about all the great music they played there. They have a night safari there, so I assumed she was talking about that, and that they played music while you look at the animals. I said I didn't go at night. She looked at me as if I was a bit odd.

It finally dawned on me that I'd misheard her. I realised that she' d said she'd been to Zuke, which is a night club.

I didn't admit my mistake. I had an opportunity a bit later when she told a few people about it and said, "Mike's been, and he thinks it's great!"

I just nodded.

My question is, at what point do I admit that I like seeing animals rather than going to night clubs? Apparently it stays open till 4am. I just can't do that anymore. Any suggestions? Do I admit it, or keep pretending that I'm cool?
