That's really similar to what I say when my Grandma makes a homophobic joke. The funny part is, she's Catholic, so it's really insulting to her and her little huffs of being offended is funny.

I kind of hated that line because Phoebe already had found her family in her friends and Mike just completed it for her. Here it sounds like her friends aren't as important to her now that she' has him.
