Side Note On A Child's Heart

I didn't really want the date to be an important element in this story, and although there are a few things (such as the indication of a bus in page 4) I've pretty much written it so that the year doesn't matter a whole lot. Letting the reader use their imagination, you could say. But I may need to make a specific time line know somewhere down the line in this story, and some of you may have been wondering when it takes place. Soo, in that case, let me just say I think this story fits nicely in the late 1940’s. For now.
