A few years ago my dad was asking me whether I learn things about how a car works and stuff like dad (I'm a physicist and mentioned I was studying Mechanics)
Nowadays I think my parents and brother kinda know what I do, tho

I eventually described to them beginning with "I try to figure out what things are made of and why do they fall" and them kept adding more and more detail until I described the general idea of my MSc project
~"the general idea of", because me and my advisor still haven't written the details lol
I came up with this explanation for my grandma, actually, but I still haven't told her
I might be mistaken, but I think the main weirdness my family has with all the Physics-y stuff is the notion of "Hey, I pretty much study things just for the sake of it. Could turn out to be useful someday, but I really don't mind whether it will"
They are all really supportive nevertheless =)
