Like others said, there is a cultural aspect to that scene. To a Western audience, it might seem strange. But to the intended audience, it is not only perfectly normal but communicates how close their relationship is. Ear cleaning is something that is done not only by couples, but is typically something parents do for their children. So the scene shows how they have a close, familial relationship since she asks her "Maman" to clean her ears for her.
