I think she realized that was a strange way to phrase that answer, but what else could she say?
"Because you poop and pee in them"?
Different families have different words/euphemisms for processes and products, but that one seems moderately common to me.
Though things such as "She accidentally went to the bathroom in her pants" (i.e., she wet or soiled them) sounds funny to me because of the way it's stretching the metaphor.
