As it turns out, Jonah never actually went on that drive.

Come to think of it, he never really went on any drives at all today. I just sort of blooped over those parts. Flip back a few pages and check if you don't believe me. You'll see. No driving.

The explanation for this is simply that I can't go writing down every damn detail of Jonah's life. I mean, who wants to read about Jonah driving to church? There's no drama there. No story. So I skipped it.

If you're wondering why poor Jonah doesn't notice these gaping holes in his life, don't worry about it.

I'm God. I can take care of these things.

Like now, for instance. Jonah didn't even notice when I put him in the car and plunked him down in front of the Hillbrook Aquarium, in the blink of an eye.
