OMG!!! How funny, but soooo true. I always notice the veins. I'll be holding my hubby's hand and rubbing my finger up and down the veins in his hands and thinking "Oh ya, I bet I could land that one!" Meanwhile, he's saying "I love it when you hold my hand." Lol :)

My hubby is on to me! He always gets creeped out when he feels his veins "squish" as he calls it - I love to tell him how I could get a 10g in his big squishy veins and he turns a bit green.

Man I do this all the time. I see models in magazines or young men in stores and think, man I could start an iv on you so easy! Just reacently I noticed my 14y/o son has some juicy looking veins.......

My kids call me the "mompire" because I am always palpating their veins and telling them I will love to start IV on them! Lol! I even do this on my parents and my siblings
I just told my 14 yo step-son the other day that he was growing up so fast I could drop a 14 gauge in him. His reply..."That's just disgusting." He's growing like a weed and is very athletic and just got his "grown-up" veins not that long ago...plus he's pale so they show really well.
