Is your child a Dan Fan?
Is your child a Dan Fan?  Here's a nifty quiz to find out!  For those of you who are truly worried, perhaps you should have a friend hold your hand as you answer the questions. 
(Disclaimer:  Should  you find out that your child IS a Dan Fan and any subsequent heart attacks or other physical ailments result, I am not even going to entertain taking responsibility).
Because there could just be a growing need, meaning more that just one of us, this is the unofficial site dedicated to those little cherub-cheeked fans of Dan Abrams and designed for their parents who need guidance. Oh, and it's also a, shall we say, unusual tribute to Dan Abrams. Obviously, there is  something about Mr. Abrams that induces some small children to go totally berserk upon seeing him. To show political correctness, I will not be  biased so I will welcome all fans, under the age of three, who are inexplicably obsessed with any news correspondent of any network.  (Or anyone else who is outside society's realm of acceptability.)

Things I've Learned
Did your child say the name "Dan" before saying your name? You       know what, score this "yes" answer as two points if you did all the work of pregnancy, labor, and child-rearing plus, in addition to that, you also have to explain why your child often squeals the name of another   man instead of your husband's. Three if he ever did it in front of your pastor, rabbi, or priest.
Diary Of A Dan Fan
Matthew meets Dan
Has your child named a particular toy after Dan? If so, a word of advice, buy a back up before he loses it. The crocodile tears, ransack  searching of the house, and the long night of waiting for the toy store to re-open can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder. For you, not your child. Matthew on "The Abrams Report"
The Abrams Counter Report:
Does  your child insist on having said toy present at every meal, bath, story time, sleep time or play time?
Sign the Dan Fan Guestbook
Have you ever had to explain your child's obsession to any member of your family who, in absolutely no way, thought it was remotely funny?
Has  your child ever caused bodily injury either to himself, you, or a beloved family pet on his way to the t.v. to see Dan?
Do all activities in your house cease when Dan appears on t.v.?
Are you frightened of holiday shopping because there is pretty much only one thing your child wants and there is no possible way for you to come up with him?(Okay, well, you could, but that would include committing various felonies and that wouldn't be conducive to positive parenting, now would it?)
Has your child ever suddenly, and without warning, screeched the name "Dan' while you were driving, only to cause you to completely  and utterly lose control of your vehicle for a brief moment? Score two points if you actually hit anything or anyone. In either case, invest in a muzzle. Inhumane in the short-term, but it'll probably save lives over the long haul. Don't wait for this to be legislated.
Has the total preoccupation of Dan or other inappropriate person gone on for more than six months? Score one point per additional month.
Here's how well, or badly, depending on how you look at it, your offspring did:
1-3   points: Your child is perfectly normal. No coloring outside the  lines here. Your kid must've dipped from the good gene pool.  Maternal side, for sure.
4-7   points: Ut oh. Better nip this thing in the bud now before it  mushrooms. Call your cable company and cut off service today. However, if you're not worried about it, laugh every time your child goes crazy. It's sure to encourage the process. This, speaking from experience. How could I have known?
8-10   points: It's okay. Chances are your child will eventually grow out of this and Dan will just be someone you'll bring up at family gatherings when your child is merrily telling everyone about your parental gaffes.
10 or  more: You have yourself a miniature stalker. If this continues into the age of being able to spell, hide the magazines and scissors.  Professional help is recommended. In the meantime, laugh, its all you can do.
