when you're cheeky and telling some sarcastic remark to your close friend/relative, expecting him/her to say something of similar spiciness in return
but instead they get insulted and sad, and you become sad to, and you apologise, and they sulk, and mood is over.
But you know, only strong people apologise.
And I liked how they saved the mood here. How he tried to joke about cakes...or he wasn't joking?
