Tackle Box
Published Jan 01, 1900
On her 15th birthday, the young daughter opened a package from her mom and sister. Out came a beauty case containing samples of my very own makeup. "Oh, neat," her dad said excitedly, "a tackle box!"
The mother and sister explained that it was a beauty kit, not a tackle box. As the daughter opened it up and showed everyone the eye shadow, mascara, and rouge, the ever wise father leaned over to his wife and whispered, "I told you it was a tackle box. Just look at all those lures."
