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！”
