This post is not from Emily or Michael. It is from Michael's brothers and sisters left behind in the U.S., who have been looking at pictures of Michael in Ethiopia, and noticing how excited and pleased he seems in every one, and who are beginning to worry just a little bit that he won't come back, and if that happened, how terribly they would miss him. In fact, they already miss him, and because things don't seem quite right around the supper table, they created a temporary stand-in, whom they have dubbed 'Hypothetical Michael.' I wasn't there during the creation of HyM, so I can't really speak to the strange fact that his "face" has a picture of both Michael and his younger brother. However--and this is pure speculation on my part--it might have had something to do with Yabsera being jealous that Michael's face was being stuck to a soccer ball and not his.
Anyway, this is what his sibling stare at, longingly, during breakfast, lunch and supper.
Come home soon, Michael Michael Motorcycle!
