Observer : Old Lady Situation

Today,a friend of mine was stopped by an old lady as he walked on the street.The old lady asked him if he knew that on the left side of the street was a kindergarten.He said yes,and he showed her where it is.But,strangely,the old lady said that she knew too where it is ,but wanted to point out only that on the kindergarten was written "The first steps in life".
My friend was like WTF? in his mind , but the old lady continued the discussion and showed him the cemetery across the street.She said that there is our final step in life.As this was getting too wierd , my friend said goodbye to the old madame and walked away.Come on , maybe she was only trying to tell a joke!Anyway I think this was kind of "strangely".What do you think?
