An old country doctor went way out in the country 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!"
