0:00.0	When Micah was a teenager, she liked to go shopping with her friends, and she wrote about it in her diary.
0:10.4	Today, Karen and me went to Dapper Dan. We were trying on jeans for a long time, and then I said,
0:15.6	these are really nice jeans. So I put them on under my pants and walked out.
0:22.9	The next time she's getting a pair.
