Technically, I am a big sister.

She capitalized the "B" and the "S".

Which makes sense, 'cause it was.
Phil Dunphy:
So Claire and I suggested that...
Haley Dunphy:
Forced.

...that she volunteer for the organization. We couldn't be prouder.

I have been a Modern Family fan since day one, but this episode really struck home for me in the way that we misjudge people even though we have the best intentions. The orchestration of the jokes was seamless and the overall sentiment was super sweet. After the moral equivalence is established between the behavior of Gloria and Manny's friend, the make up scene in the kitchen tango between Cameron and Gloria is amazing -- you don't need to have worked in a professional kitchen to appreciate what the writer was trying to accomplish -- sometimes in life we run on all cylinders and our fully charged hybrid battery. The dressing up of Luke was adorable. More of this please! Phil's last line to Claire, saying she could fake anything but "You can't fake your laugh!" was super sweet.
