** While Lady Aberlin sometimes could be considered a surrogate mother to Daniel, sometimes Neighbor Aber serves as a surrogate father to him, as Daniel doesn't have the parental figures his classmates have. In fact, in the Opera "A Granddad for Daniel" in #1535, they play his mother and father.

* The story this [[http://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewshortstory.asp?id=9402 former employee relates]]. Many of the men working for Mr. Rogers would make fun of him behind his back for being too soft and the like - but in private, they would sneak into where he was rehearsing and privately ask for personal advice ranging from impotence to marital troubles... all while talking to his puppets, at that. On top of that, he ''never'' showed any sign of having had those conversations with them, as a way to respect their privacy.

* Doubling as a TearJerker, in the late 90s up until his death, Rogers faced mass protests against him, suggesting that he had poisoned a generation of children by implying that they were all special, because it meant they wouldn't work hard to achieve anything in life. He responded in his commencement address to Dartmouth that being special doesn't mean that. It means ''you don't have to do anything sensational in order for people to love you.''

** In a similar situation (in episode #1548), King Friday wants to hold a bass violin music festival, but Lady Aberlin is struggling to play her own. She shares her worries with Daniel and is nervous to tell her uncle about it. Daniel convinces his gal pal to tell him the truth as it will make her feel better. And it works.
** From episodes #1628-1630, Lady Aberlin ends up turning into a tiger and nobody recognizes her at all, except for Daniel who eventually finds out who she really is in episode #1630 when she shares an "ugga mugga" with him. Feeling bad that she has unintentionally been scaring people, she reveals that even though she wants to return to her normal self, part of her wants to remain a tiger so she can be a part of Daniel's family. Daniel explains that they are related by their hearts, and [[ThePowerOfLove with that, Lady Aberlin turns back into herself]]. It especially gets sweet when Princess Zelda arrives on the scene and Lady Aberlin acknowledges Daniel as her relative.

However, Mr. [=McFeely=] returns, feeling very upset when a customer who was supposed to receive the gardening hose tape, had reprimanded him for receiving the wrong copy. The rest of the scene with Fred being so understanding is just too precious for words, as he even sings him "You Are Special".
