Should children witness childbirth? Good question. Here's your answer.Due to a power outage, only one paramedic responded to the call.
The house was very dark so the paramedic asked Kathleen, a 3-yr old girlto hold a flashlight high over her mommy so he could see while he helpeddeliver the baby. Very diligently, Kathleen did as she was asked. Heidipushed and pushed and after a little while, Connor was born. Theparamedic 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 justwitnessed.Kathleen quickly responded, "He shouldn't have crawled in there in thefirst place......smack his butt again!"
