Should Children Witness Childbirth?

A call came in to 911 that a woman was about to deliver her baby.

Due to a power outage, only one paramedic responded to the call.

The house was very dark so the paramedic asked Kathleen, the 3 yr.

old daughter of the lady to hold a flashlight high over her mommy so

he could see while he helped mommy deliver the baby.

Very diligently, Kathleen did as she was asked.

Heidi pushed and pushed and after a little while, Connor was born.

The paramedic lifted him by his little feet and spanked him on his

bottom. Connor began to cry. The paramedic then thanked Kathleen

for her help and asked the wide-eyed 3 yr. old what she thought

about what she had just witnessed. Kathleen quickly responded,

"He shouldn't have crawled in there in the first place......smack

his butt again!"
