Hand me Downs

Both my children were at the age where they grew like the beans from"Jack and the Beanstalks" .They really looked as if they sprouted overnight and lost weight too. Their clothes couldn't keep up.The pants were above the ankles and the shirt sleeves were somewhere between the wrist and elbow. So the clothes had to go and new ones bought which was all very exciting for them but not for me.It did hurt buying two entire wardrobes The sad part is some of the clothes that had to be disposed off were comparatively new.They had been used just a couple of times.So rather than give them to the rag collectors ,I gave the jackets and pullovers to people I knew had small children. They did not want them.I was later told by a friend that people will not take clothes worn by others .The reason being- the Karma of the first person will pass on to the next one to wear those clothes. I was surprised to hear this. Have you ever heard of things like this before?...
