Should children witness childbirth?

Okay so I stole this off of Amber's bulletin post on myspace.com and thought it was so cute!

"Due to a power outage, only one paramedic responded to the emergency call.
The house was very dark, so the paramedic asked Kathleen, a 3-year-old
girl, to hold a flashlight high over her Mummy 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 him again!"
If you didn't laugh at this one, there's no hope for you."
