Why did Henry offend Jenny?

When they are all back at Jenny's for Mother's Day, why is it when she asked the children what they had been reading, Henry's funny remarks, caused her to leave the room? Even Helen got upset with him for that. I have watched the scene a few times, and still can't work that one out.

Ha, is this a joke? He said he's been reading graffiti on the wall, implying they live in a dangerous slum, then made remarks about his little sister crying because they forgot to feed her and the older sister sexting older guys. This is all implying to his aunt that Helen isn't fit to raise children. Why wouldn't she be upset?
