Your Mother Creative Writing Prompt

One of my fiction writing teachers used this prompt with good results. Start by freewriting, beginning with the words "Your mother." You can go any direction you want, so long as those are the first two words. Try your best to write a story, or the beginnings of one. And don't be afraid to start over. (Hint: the best responses in our class came from the people who didn't actually write about mothers.)
