Modern Family:The life in a crazy family

Family Portrait

Sophie was reading a book

"Sophie, your Father and siblings are going to the basketball game" Claire said

"So?" Sophie looked at her mother

"She means you need to greet us" Alex said

"Why?I'm going to see them tonight, and for the rest of my life"

"And you're lucky, now greet them"

"Bye Dad, bye Luke, bye Alex. Happy now?".

"Yes"

"Whatever makes you sleep at night" Sophie said before going back to her book

"You know that you're rude sometimes?" Alex said

"You know that you're annoying, alway? " Sophie said making Alex send her a fake smile and then Phil greeted everyone and closed the door

Later, Claire was looking at the steps when Sophie and Haley walked up to her

"Mom can I-why are you looking at the stairs?" Sophie asked her

"That broken step. It's gonna ruin our whole family portrait. Your father was supposed to fix that step"

"Mom, you're obsessing over the tiniest little thing-" Haley said

"Yeah, plus Dad needed to fix that step years ago. And it's really small" Sophie agreed

"So you do see it, yeah"

"What is the big deal about this one picture?" Haley asked

"Okay,um sweeties, I don't expect you to understand but when your a Mom, everything goes by so quickly. In a minute,Luke's gonna be shaving, Sophie is gonna be at the end of college,Alex is gonna be off at college, and you're gonna be- you'll be doing something great. I just wanna freeze this moment as it is right now. You know?"

"I do.I know I don't show it, but this family's still the most important thing-" Haley started

"Screw it. I'm gonna fix the bastard. I mean, seriously, how hard can it be?" Claire interrupted her

"If your father can do it, I can do it. Right?All right. I just need to... lift-" After saying that Claire broke the step

"I see it now" Sophie said and Haley nodded

Later, Sophie and Haley were on the sofa and Claire was still trying to fix the step

"Okay, I just made it worse. I'm not freaking out though" she said walking in the living room

"I'm gonna call your Dad, and he's gonna tell me how to fix this"

"Omg, it's Dad" Sophie said poiting to Phil in TV

"Where?" Claire asked

"Right there, behind Kobe"

"Oh,I see him" Haley said

"Oh,Kobe?How weird is this!" Claire said and got the phone ready to call Phil

"Quick. Quick, tell me something to say that will freak him out"

"Tell him one of us is pregnant" Haley suggested pointing to herself and her sister

"No,not gonna say that" Claire said and then called Phil

"Okay, here we go.How funny is this!" Claire told them, then they saw Phil on TV looking at his phone ringing and putting it back in the pocket

"Hey, it's Phil. You know what to do" The voicemail spoke and Claire was shocked

"Well, that was pretty funny" Sophie said turning her attention back to the book
