Comedienne Joan Rivers's passing at the age of 81 has hit us all rather hard. Say what you will about her tart tongue and love-hate relationship with the red carpet, there was no denying her love for her daughter, Melissa, and her grandson, Cooper. She put their mother-daughter-grandson bond on full display both with their weekly Fashion Police show and their reality show, Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best?. But to see where the bond began, you have to go back to Melissa's birth. Take a look above. Joan's take on childbirth today, versus the way she gave birth ("I had a Jewish delivery; they knock you out with the first pain; they wake you up when the hairdresser shows"), will have you laughing out loud. Skip ahead to the 2:50 mark for the sketch — or watch the whole thing for a full dose of the funny lady's schtick. You'll never look at a delivery room in the same way again.
