<font color="green">Sometimes people are not being rude they are just taken aback and ask out of concern, much like when you have been really ill and look like death warmed over and some says oh hon you look like you don't feel well. While you don't owe them an explanation you don't owe them rudeness either. Manner are a sign of respect - for yourself as well as the person to whom you are talking.
That said, I have told my kids simply I got hurt.</font>
