I would address that the behavior is rude/inconsiderate and talk to him more about being honest about how he is feeling and why.

He's angry about homework, he doesn't want to do it and maybe wants to complain about it.

Maybe he came down to complain to you, you choose to talk on the phone instead of talking to him, he's offended/hurt/put off whatever and responds in an immature way. (Adults do this too in case you haven't had a chance to experience it.)

Looking back it's easy to respond.

You are a grown woman and you have many choices that he doesn't have. You will make many sacrifices that he will not have to make right now and maybe not ever.

Would it have been any different if you told your friend you would call her back and went and spoke to him then?

Sometimes snark is cover for something else.
