The Delivery
An old country doctor went way out to the boondocks to deliver
a baby.
It was so far out that there was no electricity.
When the doctor arrived, no one was home except for the
laboring mother,
and her five-year-old child.
The doctor instructed the child to hold a lantern high, so he
could see
while he delivered the baby. The child did so, as 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 five-year-old what he thought of the
baby?
"Hit him again," said the lad. "He shouldn't have crawled up
there in
the first place!"
