"Just give a simple, strait-forward answer, then asking them
if they'd like to learn more?"

I'd start with just the simple, straight-forward answer for now.:)
As they learn to trust you, you can add a bit, or see if they want to
look it up. Let them give you cues though. That doesn't mean you need
to be afraid to share information, but doing it just because you're
excited rather than trying to "teach" is going to create a very
different atmosphere.

Keep it simple as the trust is rebuilt. Try some strewing to calm your
fears....but let things swirl up naturally.

"I didn't coin the phrase. It comes from the movie Freaky Friday with
Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsy Lohan. My kids glommed onto it and use it
when I am being a funsucker myself"

I love movies for picking up phrases or sayings!
One of our favorites (Heidi told us about this movie) is from "Yours,
Mine and Ours", which isn't a fabulous movie or anything, but it's
worth watching just for this line: "Homes are for free expression,
not good impressions"

LOVE it!
