As long as you have nothing to hide, you should have no issue answering even stupid questions like what stores in the mall will you shop at. I've crossed the border a lot, (usually through airport customs), and I've learned not to talk too much OR too little. I know that the border guards usually aren't too nice, but they're not there to kiss your ass and unroll a red carpet for you. Don't give them a reason to be more cranky.
But a friend of mine married an American, moved to Oregon 7 years ago and last year at the border they wouldn't let her back into the States after a visit up here (even though she visited lots before). She had to wait a year to get back in, but I don't know what the whole deal was.
