An old country doctor went way out to the boondocks to deliver a baby. It
was so far out, there was no electricity. When the doctor arrived, no one
was home except for the laboring mother and her 5-year-old child. The
doctor instructed the child to hold a lantern high so he could see, while
he helped the woman deliver the baby. The child did so, the mother pushed
and after a little while, the doctor lifted the newborn baby by the feet
and spanked him on the bottom to get him to take his first breath. The
doctor then asked the 5-year-old what he thought of the baby. “Hit him
again,” the 5-year-old said, “he shouldn’t have crawled up there in the
first place!”
