Another great Derek story

The boys came back from camping a little early. They were supposed to come back tomorrow, but they came back this afternoon. Derek said he kinda missed mommy and kinda missed watching Sponge Bob. Derek came in and got a bath and got dressed. After he got dressed, I noticed he had 2 new freckles on his neck. Surprise, surprise, after 3 days in the woods, he had ticks. So we pinned him down to take them out. He screamed and cried the whole time because he didn't want us to hurt him. He felt alot better after we got them out and so he went to watch tv. A few minutes later, he starts screaming bloody murder. I went to see what the matter was and all I got was "I CAN'T... I CAN'T FIND THEM!...I'M DYING! I CAN'T FIND THE PIECES! I CAN'T FIND THE PIECES OF MY NECK!" I sat for a moment, trying to figure out what in the world he was talking about. I finally realized that he couldn't feel the ticks when he rubbed across his neck. He must have thought they were just part of him. After he relaxed a little, I explained that those were the bugs we had to pull out, they weren't part of him, and he wasn't going to die. He asked me about 10 times if I was sure and then finally went back to his tv.
