The owner of the DC license plates, pictured below, has a question...

I couldn't believe it when I saw my car on your site. I've been waiting to take the pic and send it in, because I promised my lovely friend Genevieve that she would be in the picture. This because she is the one who alerted me to the site, this terrific grassroots movement, and the possibility of vanity plates. What's really funny about all this? I'm a 40 year old Mommy of two boys, who's never had vanity plates, ever. How do I explain the acronym to the kids?—Julie O.

You have two options about what to tell the kids, Julie...

ITMFA = "Imeach the Miserable Failure Already." Google will back you up on this one, Julie. Search "miserable failure" on Google and you'll see what I mean. If you don't want to politicize your chillun' so young, you could go with what my boyfriend tells our son about the ITMFA plates on our car...

ITMFA = "I Took Mom's Fine Advice." Considering your mommy status, this option has obvious appeal.

Finally, feel free to send in another picture of your car—this time with your friend Genevieve in it. I'd be happy to post another—hey, anything for the woman driving around DC with ITMFA plates on her car!
