Home Birth

"Home Birth"

A 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!"
