I worked on some listening therapy tonight with my husband and “Making the Connection” (a book) from Advanced Bionics. It was really interesting what I did and did not “get”. My worst phrase by far was “Bye-bye”. I guessed anywhere from “satellite” to “formaldehyde”. After much repetition and more goofy guesses, I was finally able to get it. I swear… I won’t be able to tell that people are leaving! I will probably be too busy looking up to the heavens or in a FEMA trailer.
I did the best with sentences and even got “purple monkey dynamite”. **Disclaimer: THAT is not in the book – my husband used his creative license and threw it in there. You can tell this is probably one of his favorite phrases… and you would be right.

Making the Connection is a wonderful package. But I have to admit in the revised version they need to place “purple monkey dynamite” in it – that’s cute!!

Awesome new layout, by the way!
Purple Monkey Dynamite doesn’t surprise me in the least.
ps – we’ve moved – yay! Next time you’re in town, you must come see the new house!
