Due to a power outage at the time, only one paramedic
responded to the call. The house was very, very dark,
so the paramedic asked Katelyn, 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,
Katelyn did as she was asked.
Her mommy pushed and pushed, and after a little while
a baby boy, 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
Katelyn for her help and asked the wide-eyed 3-year
old what she thought about what she had just
witnessed.
Katelyn quickly responded, “He shouldn’t have crawled
in there in the first place. Smack him again.”
