If you haven’t had a chance to check out the glory that is Modern Family, this is probably one of the series you should be watching. The three families we are introduced to are most certainly modern families, Phil, his wife Claire and their three kids, Jay, Gloria and her son Manny and Claire’s brother Mitchell and his partner Cameron.
Although the episodes begin in absolute chaos occasionally, there is always a lesson to learn by the end. Here are just some of them.
1. You can never make too much of a scene.
Trust us. Just freak out if you have to.
2. Lily is a monster.
Genuinely.

3. Believe.
If Phil can be a tight-rope walker, we can all do just about anything.

4. You’ll never know where you will find love.
Just listen to Gloria.
5. Never argue about the capabilities of Meryl Streep as an actress.
Because literally, she can play anyone.
6. Just dance.
Like no one is watching. Do it.

7. It’s not necessary to have the correct word for everything all the time.
Air quotes?
8. Consider Phil as a modern philosopher.
He KNOWS things.
9. Parents aren’t always ridiculous.
Sometimes, they are pretty amazing.
10. ALWAYS treat Elle from Legally Blonde as a good example.
11. No matter what, your family will be there.
Well, most of the time anyway.
