My bad listening comprehension #6

I heard the following sentence from English learning CD.

"We're going to have a banquet to celebrate our 30 dollars graduation from university."

30 dollars graduation??

No. Correct sentence is "celebrate our son and daughter's graduation from university. Too big hearing wrong!!

My hearing wrong of the past:
