"breaking the news" to family?

Any interesting stories (good or bad) of telling family members or friends that you are a Mason?

I think one of my uncles is a Freemason...Shriner. My family wouldn't be too worried about it. They had to grapple with my being Wiccan and they don't see the rituals or beliefs of Freemasonry to be pagan by any stretch of the imagination.

If I used the term "ritual magick" they would associate it with what I might do, not Freemasonry.
