A mother of four from New Hampshire found herself in an unexpected battle when the DMV asked her to surrender a vanity license plate she had proudly used for 15 years. The plate, reading “PB4WEGO,” was a simple and playful reminder she often gave her children: “pee before we go.” For Wendy Auger, it was never anything inappropriate—just a relatable parenting moment turned into a lighthearted message. Over the years, the plate had brought smiles, laughter, and even compliments from strangers who understood the humor. So when she received an official notice claiming the phrase could be interpreted as referencing inappropriate bodily functions, she was both surprised and frustrated. To her, it felt like a harmless piece of family identity was being misunderstood and taken away without good reason.
Determined to speak up, Wendy shared her story online, where it quickly gained attention and support from people who saw the situation as unnecessary and overly strict. Many agreed that her message was innocent and even practical, reflecting something most parents say before leaving home. The growing public reaction eventually reached state officials, and the decision was reconsidered. In a welcome turn of events, the ruling was overturned, and Wendy was allowed to keep her beloved plates. The experience became more than just a personal victory—it highlighted how common sense and community voices can make a difference. For Wendy and her family, the plate remains a small but meaningful symbol of humor, routine, and the everyday moments that make family life unique.
