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!”
