It sounds mundane provincial and domestic (no grand political schemes or adventurous ambitions from Beru which is possibly why Owen loves her), therefore A) nice background info, we learn a bit more about the sort of woman who will raise Luke and B) it's adds a bit of grounding realism to a film with arena monsters and battledroids.
Or it's similar to...
ANAKIN: I hate sand.
I don't have that much of a problem with those lines, just the delivery.
A different actor (and a different director) might have managed to pull it off without coming across as just some pervy teen trying to get into an older girls knickers.
The performances on both sides of the conversation, the direction, the score all came together to make a rather odd bit of cinema which is dances around every possible reaction, romantic, comedic, edgy and still manages to stick it foot in the bear trap of wooden and dull.
It deserves a special award for that.
