What they are really asking
This one catches people off guard, and that's the point. When they ask what your mother would say about you, the interviewer wants to see how you react to a personal question and whether you can answer it with some warmth and humor. They're also listening for qualities that go back a long way: the things you've been since you were a kid.
Keep it light, but keep it useful. "She'd say I'm wonderful" gets a smile and tells them nothing. A quality with a childhood example, linked to work, gets a smile and a reason to hire you. If talking about your mother isn't comfortable for you, it's fine to say "My family would say..." or name another person who raised you. Nobody will push.
A shape that works
Quality, childhood proof, today. Name one quality your mother would mention, the kind she'd tell relatives about. Give a small story from when you were young. Then show the same quality in your adult life or work. One sentence of gentle humor is welcome; three is a comedy routine.
