This was an extremely good friend of the family whom I called "tante" (German for aunt) from the age of seven, though she wasn't related to me.

You could more charitably think of it as a compliment and an attempt at awkward social critique of how life works. An attempt to ask someone whose intelligence she admired to try to explain why life doesn't work like she thought it was supposed to.
