This strikes me as an unnecessarily antagonistic reply.

  FWIW, I'm the parent he was replying to and I was fine with and appreciative of his correction. It seemed the appropriate amount of antagonism, given my error.

    I was not even trying to be a little antagonistic, really. It was mostly (a too colloquial display of) surprise given the huge amount of autonomy of every “region” in the country.

      Yep that’s essentially how I saw it. Maybe the holidays are stressing people out. :-)
