You think back fondly on all of the memories you shared with your grandparents when you used to spend summers with them. They played board games with you, and took you boating on the lake. Each summer you looked forward to new adventures.
That was until you started wondering, do spider veins cause soreness to touch like a bruise? It was a perfectly valid question you thought, especially after that day you saw your grandmother's bare legs for the first time. You had never thought of the question, "Do spider veins cause soreness to touch like a bruise?" before that pivotal moment. Your grandmother had always been a rather modest woman, and you had always seen her in pants no matter what.
However, one day your grandmother decided to wear shorts in your presence for the very first time. You were surprised to see that her legs weren't nearly as wrinkly as you thought they would be. Instead, there was a lot of little dark squiggles all over each leg. She saw you looking at them and modestly explained that those were called spider veins.
You asked her, "Grandma, do spider veins cause soreness to touch like a bruise?" She thought that was a strange question, and asked why you wanted to know. You said that you were just curious, since they looked bad. Oh, the tactfulness of children! She repeated, "Do spider veins cause soreness to touch like a bruise? I don't really know, but I don't intend to poke them either, and neither will you."
