¿Qué significa "This conversation’s a little late and so am I." "Everything is a joke to you." ?

This is a conversation between mom and her daughter. Mom is worried about her daughter's summer trip in terms of boys. The daughter replies with the first line. Then mom says the second line getting a little angry. I want to know what the first line means and why it winds up the mom.

The daughter is not taking the mom who is worried about her seriously. She makes a joke and tells her mom that the talk they are is late (not given soon enough) and that she (the daughters) is also late (most likely the daughter is not on time for the mom's discussion).

Thank you! Can you explain more about "late"? What does it mean the talk is late and I am late in this conversation?

"Talk is late" - means that the talk was given past the time it was supposed to be given.

"I am late" - means the girl did not arrive at the right time. She arrived after the time she was supposed to be there for the talk.
