Should children witness childbirth?
Due to a power outage, only one paramedic responded to the call. The house was very dark, so the paramedic asked Kathleen, a 3-year-old girl, to hold a flashlight high over her mother so he could see while helping to deliver the baby.
Kathleen did as she was asked very diligently. Heidi pushed and pushed, and after a little while, Connor was born.
The paramedic lifted the newborn by his little feet and gave him a light spank on the 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 bottom again!"
