How about simply saying 'moving clocks run slower'?
The moving twin experienced an acceleration which slowed it's
'clock' relative to the stationary twin. Thus the moving twin would
age more slowly until deacceleration which would return the moving
twin's 'clock' to the same rate (certainly not time) as the stationary
one.
Thus the descrepancy in age upon return. The Lorentz transformations you
explained in great deal are correct but confusing to the non-physics
type. Hopefully this intuitive explanation will clarify it.
