Suddenly, her family-friendly joke was deemed <strong>\u201coffensive,\u201d<\/strong> violating rules against \u201csexual or excretory acts or functions.\u201d After more than a decade of laughter and zero complaints, the state demanded she surrender the plate immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The irony wasn\u2019t lost on Wendy, a paralegal and mother of four. \u201cIf I have to take it off the plate, then I\u2019m not going to be able to live free,\u201d she joked, referencing New Hampshire\u2019s motto: <em>Live Free or Die.<\/em> To her, the DMV\u2019s decision was over-the-top bureaucratic overreach. This wasn\u2019t political\u2014it was parental advice with a punchline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Refusing to back down, Wendy shared the letter and photos of her car on social media. The response was instant and explosive. Thousands rallied behind her, calling the DMV\u2019s crackdown absurd, \u201cridiculous,\u201d and even \u201ccute.\u201d Support poured in from parents, drivers, and anyone who\u2019d ever told a child to use the bathroom before a long trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Continue reading on next page&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The story quickly caught national attention, landing on news outlets like CNN\u2014and even reaching New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu. Cutting through the red tape, the Governor personally reached out to Wendy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHey Wendy, it\u2019s Chris Sununu,\u201d he wrote. \u201cWe took care of that issue\u2026 sorry for that little bureaucratic holdup.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just like that, Wendy had her victory. On August 28, she proudly posted on Facebook: <strong>\u201cThis Sassy Momma Has Her Plates!\u201d<\/strong> The seven-letter message of humor and practicality was back on the road, a win not just for Wendy, but for anyone who values common sense over needless rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wendy\u2019s story is proof that sometimes, standing your ground\u2014no matter how small the issue\u2014can make a big difference. And yes, her <strong>PB4WEGO<\/strong> plate is officially back in action, spreading laughter and a bit of practical parenting wisdom wherever she drives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Your turn:<\/strong> What\u2019s the funniest or cleverest license plate you\u2019ve ever seen?
