Why did God make Mothers?

I got this cute email with these questions that were answered by 2nd graders and thought I'd ask my kids and post their responses. (I didn't prompt any of their answers and will write them as they said it)

Ben: To take care of thems kids
Ryley: Because if you don't have moms, kids would be the ones to rule the world.

Ben: With magic
Ryley: Um, took a spirit and some dead bones and then they came to earth to be a mom.

What ingredients are mother's made of?
Ben: Um, Apples and Banannas
Ryley: Sugar

Ben: Because thems not Mayberry's
Ryley: Because you choose them in heaven

What kind of a little girl was your mother?
Ben: A baby (like Ethan)

Ryley: That he wasn't a bad guy

Ben: Because, so they can be a mom and dad
