Now me:

I just had to consult my son's globe when I got home from work last 
night so I could verify for myself that Egypt was in Africa, since 
I've never thought of it so before.  In looking at the globe, I did 
notice that Egypt was in the North East, not the North West.  
However, I figured that you meant NE, and I was also so impressed 
that you knew Egypt was in Africa in the first place that I couldn't 
possibly criticize you!
