ticked off

I am sure it is this:

That led to this:



Let me explain:

Yesterday while playing at the park, Ty saw 6 deer run off into the woods. He and Dixon thought it would be awesome to run after them. Because I was chatting away with a friend, I didn't notice how far they had gone into the woods. Dixon turned around and ran back to tell me that Ty wasn't stopping. So I went to find him... No biggie, just a boy trying to catch a couple deer. Today around 2pm he had a low grade fever. I gave him some Tylenol and thought nothing of it, after all, he has been a little sprite today. For example, in attempt to give Ty some freedom but keeping him close enough to monitor him in the front yard, my friend drew some boundary lines on the sidewalk that Ty had to stay inside (so we could see him through the front room window while he played). After crossing them twice and consequently having two short Couch Time's, Ty told me with his scowly face that he was going to cross out the lines so that he could cross over them. He did just so... clever, but no cigar... and found himself on the couch again. Let's just say Ty hasn't been himself today.

And now to the suspected reason... after his bath, Matthias told me to come take a look. Behind his ear, in his hair was something that looked like a huge blackhead. We tried squeezing it - - - then Matthias mentioned the word.... Tick.... I threw up a little in my mouth. Gross!
