I think it just shows that a forgiving parent will allow a rebellious child back into the family when it grows up and realises the error of its ways. So when the United States realises how wrong it was to leave the Empire, the UK will forgive them and allow them to join the Commonwealth of Nations. (... and no I'm not British.)

@nimbusshadow-wings I'm not that religious, but it reminds me of the story of the Prodigal Son; a kid leaves home, takes his inheritance and leads a wild and profligate lifestyle. When the misbehavior catches up with him and he apologizes to his parent, he is forgiven and welcomed back into the family. That analogy works if you see "Murica as the prodigal child, Britain as the parent of the family and countries like Australia and Canada as siblings.

@nimbusshadow-wings Well like many parents Britain is quite old and older people are not as strong as they were when they were younger. :D
