A woman goes to her doctor. The doctor verifies that she is pregnant. This is her first pregnancy. The doctor asks her if she has any questions. She replies, “Well, I’m a little worried about the pain. How much will childbirth hurt?”
The doctor thinks for a moment then says, “Well, that varies from woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy and besides, it’s difficult to describe pain.”
“I know, but can’t you give me some idea?” she asks.
“Well, he said, “Grab your upper lip and pull it out a little . . .”
“Like this?” the woman asked.
“A little more . . .” he said.
“Like this?” she asked.
“No. A little more . . .”
“Like this?” she asked again.
“Yes.” The doctor said. “Does that hurt?”
“A little bit,” she replied.
“Now,” he said, “stretch your lip over your head!” (1)
