Potty Accident, or trying to be like the boys?

So, yesterday, Venice had an 'accident' in the court out front while playing with the neighborhood kids. Accidents of this nature are a very rare occasion so we were concerned as to why it happened. Turns out, or so we think, that the two neighbor boys had to pee and decided to relieve themselves into another neighbor's garden out front. Venice, who had been playing with these boys all afternoon, decided to try it too. But, not having the same anatomy or understanding of how to pee standing up, pee just went down her legs and thus her 'accident'.
