context: Yesterday , i went to the mall to shop for pants to umpire softball . I see this because I was going to start telling my story . I saw two friends who were fine as hell and they had on mini skirts . Women were wearing mini skirts to me over the last two days and I guess that allowed me to recollect my love for Erica Gates , a girl that i had the sweets for in high school .
question: What may have been your reason for going to the mall ?
reference: I needed to buy some sports equipment .
candidate: I was going to buy a pair of shorts.
