Should Children Attend the Delivery of a Sibling?

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.   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.

The little boy responded: "He shouldn't have crawled
in there in the first place. Spank him again.
