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!"
