I double checked spelling, and it appears to be correct. I don't understand why it's saying the variable can't be found.
var removeMe = document.querySelector('remove_me');
var parent = remove_me.parentNode;
<!DOCTYPE html>

In your first line your variable is named removeMe, but you’re trying to call the parentNode property on remove_me.
removeMe and remove_me are different.
Once you fix that you should be fine.
