You could use until or if (or both). You could make a variable the would
count how many times in a row you said "BYE" to grandma, starting at 0 of
cause, and make it add 1 each times and reset it to 0 if you did not say
"BYE".

Here is an example:

counter =3D 0

Until (counter =3D=3D 3)
   tell_grandma =3D gets.chomp
   if (tell_grandma =3D=3D "BYE")
      counter +=3D 1
   end
end

Just find a way to integrate with your current grandma program :)
