        <title>Parent Traversal</title>
    </head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
    <body>

            <li>Hello</li>
            <li>Hi</li>

Hi Susan, in task 2 you have to remove 

  <li class="remove_me">Good bye!</li>

from its parent "ul". 

const removeMe = document.querySelector(".remove_me");
let parent = removeMe.parentNode;

parent.removeChild(removeMe);
