Dear Miss Manners: My friend and I both have baby girls: Hers is about 6 months old, and mine is 3 months. She has given me a whole bunch of her little girl’s clothes — such a high volume of items that some still had the tags on.

Recently, my friend told me that her best friend was offended that she wasn’t given these hand-me-downs instead of me. (Her friend hopes to be pregnant soon, but is not yet.) Then she told me to give the clothes to her friend when we are done with them.
