Weird things happen in the subway

On my way to the Summer Palace, I was reading in the subway. Next to me was a family with a little boy, maybe 1.5 year old. He keeps on staring at me and every now and then smiled back.
Suddenly the mother starts to make big gesture and screaming at her husband. Of course I look up. Apparently the baby boy had to pee, so she took an empty water bottle from her bag and helped her son while he was peeing in it. Yes, right there, in the middle of the subway. Once he was done, she put it back in her bag and the travel continued. Now I understand why small kids were trousers that have a wide opening between the legs. Still several hours afterwards, I can't believe what I saw!
