Subject: Deaf Grandma Program doesn't work right

Grandma has hearing issues 'cos she's getting old. All she does is
answer my questions with a phrase "NO NOT SINCE 1938'. If I don't
yell(.upcase), she's gonna tell me to speak up. If I yell without a
question mark, she'll tell me "THAT'S NOT A QUESTION!". I write a
program for this scenario and anytime I yell with or without a question
mark, she tells me "THAT'S NOT A QUESTION!"

What am I doing wrong or at least what am I missing?

question = ''
puts 'Ask grandma something...'
while question != 'BYE!'
    question = gets.chomp
   if question != question.upcase
     puts 'HUH?! SPEAK UP, SONNY!'
   elsif question == question.upcase+'?'
     puts 'NO, NOT SINCE 1938!'
   elsif question == question.upcase
     puts 'THAT\'S NOT A QUESTION!'
   elsif question == 'BYE!'
     puts 'BYE!'
   end
end
