You are the one that touched the tar-baby*. The thread lay there quietly until you responded.

*Cultural reference.

Tar-Baby
The Tar-Baby is the second of the Uncle Remus stories published in 1881; it is about a doll made of tar and turpentine used by the villainous Br'er Fox to entrap Br'er Rabbit. The more that Br'er Rabbit fights the Tar-Baby, the more entangled he becomes. In modern usage, tar-baby refers to a problematic situation that is only aggravated by additional involvement with it.
