The end of December is always when my car license tabs are due for renewal, and this year I was also scheduled to get new license plates. Washington state requires new plates periodically - to make sure the reflective material on them is still in good shape (and/or to raise more money....).
So new plates it is! There is the option to pay an extra $20 to keep the same license plate number, but since I am a cheapskate always careful with spending money unnecessarily, I now have plates with a brand new assortment of letters and numbers. No big deal, right? Well, except for when I need to actually KNOW the plate number. (including when I am trying to spot the right car in the grocery store parking lot, and verifying my plate number keeps me from accidentally trying to break into some other Toyota look alike....
The task then is how to memorize the new plate. Easiest for me is always making up a phrase where the letters of the plate become the first letters of the words in the phrase - and then whatever I can come up with for the numbers.
The new plates begin with AKEO - so here we go - feel free to chime in with suggestions for me:
All Koalas Eat Oatmeal
Always Keep Equal Opportunity
And Kangaroos Everywhere Oops
A Key Ever Opens
Accept Kitchen Eating Only
Admire Kindness..... OK, I'm stuck now!! Help!!
What I needed was LOL on my plates - now THAT I could remember!
