Just starting myself and enjoying the book (though I'm about to pull my 
hair out with the sort exercise in Chapter 7 -- the one that challenges 
you to perform the sort without using .sort)

Here's what I did ...

      # DEAF GRANDMA

        byecount = 0

        puts 'tell me sthign !'

        while byecount < 3

            sonnysays = gets.chomp

            if sonnysays == sonnysays.upcase
               if sonnysays == 'BYE'
                  puts 'do not go'
                  byecount = byecount +1
               else
                  puts 'more to say?'
               end
           else
               puts 'speak up; cannot hear.'
           end
        end

        puts 'i will miss you sonny'
