Blank My Blank Quiz

You’re listening to A Way with Words. I’m Martha Barnette.

And I’m Grant Barrett, and on the line is that master of mayhem, John Chaneski from New York, with a quiz.

Hello, John.

Hello, Grant. Now, I have a quiz for you today I think you’re going to like.

Okay.

This quiz puts you right in the middle of things.

That is to say, the answers are common phrases that all have the word my in the middle.

Okay?

Okay.

I’ll give you a sentence that ends with a blank my blank, and you provide the words that go in the blanks.

Okay.
