Ask Alli

DEAR ALLI:

I just overheard my boyfriend talking on the phone about my Christmas present, and I'm really excited! He was telling his buddy Kyle, "She doesn't know what I gave her, I hope she doesn't find out soon! I just wish I hadn't unwrapped it that one time, maybe she knows..."

Dear Alli, I would love to get him something as special as he's giving me. He told Kyle, "She'll have it forever."

This kind of permanence makes me think that something really life-changing is about to happen. He said it was red, and it really stands out against pale skin tones.

Dear Alli, I think he might be proposing! He knows my favorite gemstone is a ruby! This Christmas will be so exciting, but I need to know what to give him in return. Any suggestions?

DEAR HANNAH:

It's herpes. I'd recommend finding someone with gonorrhea and repaying the favor. That'll make him look really festive down there. Because it's green, like Christmas.

Happy Holidays!
