Kids Answer Questions about Mothers

Here's how several elementary school students answered the following questions about moms:

Why did God make mothers?
• She's the only one who knows where the Scotch tape is.
• Mostly to clean the house.
• To help us out of there when we were getting born.

How did God make mothers?
• He used dirt, just like for the rest of us.
• God made my mom just the same like he made me. He just used bigger parts.

What ingredients are mothers made of?
• God makes mothers out of clouds and angel hair and everything nice in the world. . .and one dab of mean.
• They had to get their start from men's bones. Then they mostly use string, I think.

Why did God give you your mother and not some other mom?
• We're related.
• God knew she likes me a lot more than other people's moms like me.
