The Old Fashioned Way

In Grampy's garage are hidden treasures of tools from another era. He asked what is a sickle? I told him that it is a weed wacker. He couldn't understand how it could work with no engine or nylon cord. I told him it works by swinging it at the weeds. I told him I used it when I was a boy. And watching him swing, I was transported back in time working with my grandfather in the yard.
