Rob came back here and proceeded with what he was saying. Didn't take much more "reading into."
I may have advanced it and suspected Rob had in mind what many people refer to as "rules" -- man-made standards (like his FB Rules), but my general critique had to do with making the Story about rules -- "he left because of rules, came home because rules brought good stuff."
Now that I re-type that... I actually believe the younger son was scheming when he came back, knowing he could get "better stuff" and this is the climax of the Story. The Father, not waiting to here his rehearsed speech throws himself on him, loves on him, orders a party up --- all before the younger son can even get his scheming story of how he will earn his way out of his mouth.
Love that story...
