SHOULD A THREE YEAR OLD WATCH CHILDBIRTH?

 

During a power outage, only one paramedic was available to help with a home birth where he found only the mother in labor and her 3 year old daughter.

 

Finding the house very dark, the paramedic handed his flashlight to little Kathleen, a 3-yr old, asking her to shine it on mommy so he could see to help deliver the baby.  

Kathleen kept that flashlight on Mommy who pushed and pushed, until she delivered a baby boy.  The paramedic lifted the baby, spanking him on his bottom.  The baby began to cry, and he handed the baby to the mother. 

 

The paramedic then turned to little Kathleen, thanking her for her help.  He asked the wide-eyed 3-yr old, "Well, what do you think about all this?"   

 

She exclaimed, "He shouldn't have crawled in there in the first place.  Smack his butt again!"
