Eventually, I think homeschooled kids get sick of the inane questions as much as homeschool parents.

I friggin love this. Can I move in to your family? You always have my rolling.

my daughter just says "no". She occasionally will say "no, homeschool" but I usually feel the need to qualify that with "we're homeschooling this year. My mom is a Kindergarten teacher" because generally there aren't any concerns projected on me when I say that. My MIL just retired from teaching 1st grade so we have next year covered as well. lol. by 2nd grade, people will stop wondering

Oh, I've also occasionally been saying "homeschool kindergarten" even though to me it feels a bit odd to have "grade levels" just as I feel weird about having school hours/days/years because isn't homeschooling about flexibility of learning time and material?
