Jack races three-year-old Vicky for a chocolate milkshake

Neville would give Jack money to take three-year-old Vicky to the Central Park zoo; instead Jack took her to a drugstore, bought one chocolate milkshake with two straws, gave her one straw and drank the whole thing himself as a race.

  1. c. 1945 estimated · probable
    Source I Am the Truth ¶7Neville says Vicky was about three; hist_event 822 independently holds her exact birth date 1942-06-28.
    Reasoning The event-bearing sentence explicitly places Vicky at about age three during the milkshake episode. Applying that approximate age to the independently established exact birth date 1942-06-28 dates the episode circa 1945; probable confidence preserves the uncertainty in 'about'.
  2. before 1948 estimated · possible
    Why M7 dating pass (529; 525's readers, packet 050): bound with no source: written as estimated with the reader's reasoning
