An old country doctor went way out to the boondocks to deliver a baby. It was so really far out and there was no electricity. When the doctor arrived, no one was home except for the pregnant 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 turned to the 5-year-old and asked, What do you think about the baby? "Hit him again Doc," said the 5-year-old, "he shouldn't have crawled up there in the first place!" |
