2. It was actually the Peace Prize
This was for arranging the settlement between Israel and Egypt.

Pulitzer Prize is for journalists.

3. I thought he won the Nobel Prize?
Did you sweetly explain the difference to your 17 year old? Sounds like your kid's heart is in the right place though.

8. He is thinking
and that is much more than most of the population is doing. It was a big prize, he was close, well kind of. Good for him.
