Things that make you say hmmm....

So I'm sitting by our school's football field where I am doing the commentating for our Sports Invitational. We had invited four other schools from Freetown to our school to come and participate in an assortment of games for the younger students and a football tournament for the older kids. It was halftime of one of the games and I've just been giving thanks over the PA system to many of our sponsors when I notice a young girl walking across the pitch. This in itself was not a big deal, many students were walking back and forth to get to the refreshment stands or back to their seat. However, this student caught my eye because she had stopped and appeared to be looking at the stone wall that edges one side of our field. There really isn't anything special about this wall and I sort of wondered what she was doing, but didn't think enough of it to get out of the shade and investigate. A moment later she had pulled down her shorts and squatted down by the wall to empty her bladder, in front of almost two hundred watching eyes. I thought it was funny and knew there was nothing I could do short of making an announcement on the mike that our field should not be used as a restroom, but I thought that might be worse than what she was actually doing. One teacher did start screaming and ran out onto the field but was way too late. By the time she got there the young girl had done her business and looked up questioningly at the lady running and screaming at her.
