Barbie corvette

I dreamt I was going through some boxes of things. Everything felt cluttered. I looked through the boxes and found lots of old clothes. I hadn't seen them since the 80s. There were some sweaters in colors I haven't worn in years. I tried to see if anything was salvageable, but I decided to get rid of it all. I didn't know it had existed still until that day. Then someone knocked on my door. It was a man and his son. He was asking for toy donations. I remembered I had run across some Barbie items (a corvette, a jeep and a tent). I thought for a second and said yes. I went to go get the items feeling good that it would free up a lot of space. I was about to tell them to look it up on ebay before just donating the toys. I figured they would get more money that they could use for their cause, but then decided against it. I was letting it go, which meant letting it all go. Then I went into the kitchen. My friend (MB) had been cooking. I saw he had used a grater that I had planned on returning. He had not only used it, he had mangled it. I was a little disappointed, but at the same time.... it was only $25. And what is that compared to peace of mind and friendship.
