An old 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.<br /><br />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<br />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.<br /><br />The doctor then asked the 5-year-old what he thought of the baby.<br /><br />"Hit him again," the 5-year-old said, "he shouldn't have crawled up there in the first place!"
