So girls can (sort of) aim when they pee?

I was out for a walk with my girlfriend in the woods last week, and she said she really had to pee so dropped her shorts and squatted. She asked me to check around to see if anyone was coming, so I did, and when I turned back, she was mid-flow. But what was a surprise to me was that she had one of her hands 'down there' opening her lips slightly, and the pee shot out a little bit in front of her. I asked her about it and she said it stops such a mess happening and the pee coming out and going all over herself. So... does this like happen a lot? Because it's new to me!!
