Not only that, but when I first read about the boy's feast, my first thought was that it sounded like some sort of a "reward" for bad behavior. I mean, I can understand the boy needing to eat something, but after having read his "found" menu, I couldn't help but imagine them wailing and carrying on and saying, "Whatever you want, YOU NAME IT,....we are SO glad that you are ok that you can have ANYTHING to eat, whatever your little heart desires, moomie and duddy will go get. You want a happy meal? Juice? Cake? Fruit roll ups? Chicken nuggets? Rack of Lamb? The IMPORTANT thing is that you are home and we wuv yyeewwwwwwww sooooooooooo much, no matter WHAT you did!!!!!".
I would also be willing to bet that he gets a new toy or two as well. I believe that three years of age is old enough to know better than to wander off alone and he should have known that he couldn't just go "hunting and fishing" by himself, like he said he was going to do before he disappeared. After having the type of homecoming he has had, he would be a fool not to wander off again. I am curious if they have even tried to explain to him that what he did was BAD, or if they are too busy loving him to death. Maybe it's just me, but I HATE when people are "rewarded" with food anyway. I also think that the "last meal" thing on death row is rather tacky too. Who in their right mind would be hungry knowing that in a few short hours they are going to be executed?
