Mother

It is funny that a starter is also called a 'Mother,' isn't it?


Why do you think that is?


Let's try and figure it out, shall we?


Ok, how about this:

Mothers are like starters because they "rise to the occasion!" Blech, moving on.


Mothers are like starters because they provide the building block of the staff of life!


Mothers are like starters because they both materialize from bacteria in the air falling into a culture of flour and water!

Um, seriously?


Mothers are like starters because when you add flour, water, and salt to a Mother and then bake it on high heat it turns into a Baby!


This is starting to get really demented.


Mothers are like starters because when you cut them, they look pretty!


Wow.


Mothers are like starters because you can keep them in the refrigerator indefinitely, then when you need them all you have to do is take them out, feed them, and they're good to go!


I think we're done here.


Let's just say Mothers are like starters because they add a little something special to everything they do.

Happy Mother's Day, everyone!
