I Feel Your Pain
After going through Lamaze, Leboyer, and LeLeche classes with his expectant wife, the proud new father remained by her beside throughout the labor and delivery. Wanting to be as sympathetic as possible, he took his wife’s hand afterward and said, emotionally, “Tell me how it was, Darling, how it actually felt to give birth.”
“OK, Honey,” his wife replied. “Smile as big as you can.”
Beaming down at his wife and child, the man followed her instructions. “That’s not hard.”
She continued, “Now stick a finger in each corner of your mouth.”
He obeyed, smiling broadly. “Now stretch your lips as far as they’ll go,” she went on.
“Still not too tough,” he remarked.
“Right,” she snapped. “Now pull them over your head.”
