She’s someone worth holding onto. Here’s to 20 more years of joy and laughter.

**What Happened:** Last Saturday, my girlfriend decided to experiment with a new recipe for homemade pizza. Now, I love pizza, but what I didn’t expect was her innovative approach—to create toppings that resemble the characters from my favorite cartoons. Picture this: a pepperoni Batman, a pineapple SpongeBob, and a veggie-filled Harry Potter with a mushroom wand. As she threw on the toppings, she dramatically narrated their backstories like a culinary Shakespeare, complete with a British accent that only got thicker with every slice of pepperoni.

**Why It’s Funny:** Watching her earnestly debate whether the olives should be the eyes of Scooby-Doo or his nose was one of those moments that made me realize how wonderfully ridiculous life can be. She ended up serving up edible art, each bite a mash-up of flavors and laughter. As I chomped down on “Dough-lander” (a pizza homage to Outlander, complete with haggis topping), I couldn’t help but think: she’s a keeper! Here’s to 20 more years of her silliness and fun, and perhaps, next time, we can work on those culinary backstories a little before dinner!
