Yesterday, we were enjoying a small bowl of ice-cream each, after dinner. All four of us (even Flipper in his high chair) had some chocolate caramel swirl.

It was the cutest thing, watching Flipper eat it. He would take it off the spoon (with his mouth) enthusiastically, and then pull this variety of faces in succession, making the husband and I laugh out loud.

So then my husband says (as if he is Flippers brain), “Mmmm, Good! Cold! Mmmm, Good! Cold!”

This was of course funny in itself, but it struck me has even funnier, because then I proceeded to say to my husband, “Gosh, that really is the difference between men and women. The Men, go for the obvious and the logical, i.e. Good! Cold! But as a woman, if I take a bite of yummy ice cream, I’m suddenly instantly transported, to a snowy hillside in Germania, dressed in beautiful romanesque garb, with Russell Crowe, dressed as a roman general is also lying down on some sort of fur covered chaise, and naturally we are gazing at one another with much longing, and…” then of course I need to take another bite of ice cream, and head straight on back to my fantasy.

The key factor in this, is that the more decadent the flavour, the better the fantasy .

This is a fact. This is the key reason why ice cream flavours seem to be getting more and more ostentatious with each new incarnation. My husband can thank his lucky stars that we don’t get Ben and Jerry’s Cookie Dough in this country, because DAY-YAMN, he’d have to stop me from making inappropriate sound effects in front of my kids.

I think that the ice cream actually had some sort of long term effect on me last night because I was once again blessed with incredibly vivid dreams of a certain actor.

This actor, is one that I found sort of attractive when I first started watching Ugly Betty.

I am of course talking about Eric Mabius, who plays the part of Daniel Meade.

After watching the series for awhile, I didn’t find him quite so hotworthy (it’s a word because I say so) probably because of the storyline or whatnot, but anyhoo, I couldn’t put my finger on it.

Clearly my subconscious mind hadn’t got the memo, because last night I was somehow magically transported into the series, and succeeded in successfully luring him away from his wife (in the series) who is suffering from cancer – in the storyline – yes, I know, my subconscious has NO CONSCIENCE whatsoever.

It was in fact, SO vivid, that I woke up this morning, feeling practically giddy, until reality asserted itself, and I realised it had just been a dream.

By the time I was dropping kids at school, I was a tad embarrassed, and on the way home, I was laughing at myself for being such an airhead.

Oh well, airhead or not, can you forgive my subconscious once you’ve seen these?

So go on, tell us, which TV characters get you hot under the collar?
