Should Children Witness Child Birth?

    Due to a power outage, only one paramedic responded to the call. The
    house was very, very dark, so the paramedic asked Kathleen, a 3-year-old
    girl, to hold a flashlight high over her Mommy so he could see while he
    helped 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-year 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".
