Vanity license plates have been a popular choice for years. Everything from a person's name to nicknames like "PRINCESS" have emblazoned the backs of tailgates.

Fifteen years ago, a mom in New Hampshire hopped on the vanity license plate bandwagon and coined her own unique saying to place on her vehicle. "PB4WEGO" was the vanity license plate that Wendy Auger, a busy mom of four, chose for her car. In the decade and a half that she's had the vanity license plate, Wendy says she's received a variety of reactions. Some people take pictures while others honk, laugh, or give her the thumbs up sign as she drives by.

All of the reactions were positive, however, which is why Wendy was so surprised when she opened up an official letter from the state of New Hampshire last month. The letter stated that Wendy's "PB4WEGO" vanity license plate violated their policy on no "excretory actions or functions" being inappropriately displayed on vehicles in the state. The saying is a cheeky way of spelling out "pee before we go", something Wendy says she always tells her four children before they embark on a road trip.

While Wendy was initially upset about having to give up her beloved vanity license plate, her friend Corey West took it a step further, posting her story alongside on Facebook and asking for his friends to share it to get the word out. The story of the funny vanity license plate quickly went viral, leading many news and media outlets to contact Wendy for a statement.

Once word reached New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu, he knew he had to correct this silly situation. The governor reached out to the Department of Motor Vehicles and insisted that Wendy be allowed to keep her vanity license plate. After getting the approval from the Department of Motor Vehicles, Sununu himself reached out to Wendy, leaving her a voicemail stating that situation had been cleared up and she was free to keep her "PB4WEGO" vanity license plates reports CNN. Wendy says she's relieved- pun intended- that she'll be able to keep the vanity license plates that she's enjoyed for so many years.

Do you think Wendy was justified in wanting to keep her vanity license plates, or do you think the Department of Motor Vehicles should have revoked them? Be sure to pass this funny story along for others to enjoy also.
