PHOEBE
Part of her expected his comeback- it was pretty predictable based on what she had said. But sit was frustrating nonetheless because it did put her in an awkward position. Either way she ended up a bad host in this scenario. But she did catch one thing he said and gave him a funny look for it. "You're not a burden." she said simply, with a little huff. Putting the chairs back in their spots after cleaning up the boys' mess, she headed over to the sink to replace the rag in the sink.
"I've never seen a man take domestic responsibilities in a house without cause, baking included." she said with a slight shrug. While both her mother and father worked (her father far more regularly than her mother), her mother took care of all the household chores. Her sisters had stayed home while their husbands worked and they took care of all the cooking and cleaning - her brother's first wife had been the same. That a man would bake just because seemed...odd to her.
He seemed to think it needed more time - which it probably did - but she wasn't going to say anything. "Well, if it ends up burned, I suppose that would be your fault then." she said with a small smirk in a sing-songy tone.

When the static clears
And all is said and done
I will realize that we all need someone
