I've basically given up trying to really explain it. I just say I own a business that operates "on the Internet" and hope they stop asking questions after that. My favorite quotes:

Dad: When you told me you were quitting school and moving to Boston to start some Internet company I thought it was just a pipe dream. But, you made me really proud.

Grandma 2: I heard your business is doing well. Of course I don't understand what it is you do, but I'm proud of you!

No good quotes from my other Grandma; she can barely remember who I am anymore :(

Don't whine, you're lucky. My grandmothers didn't like me to start with and now they're all dead.

I wasn't exactly whining, but in the spirit of this idiotic argument, I'd say you got lucky. They didn't like you, so no need to like them. Now they're dead. You won.
