Modern Family:The life in a crazy family

Baby On Board

"We're back. We got Alex the cutest prom dress. Show your dad" Claire said as she and Alex entered the kitchen where the rest of the family was

"Hey. Well, I don't like how far down that zipper goes, but on the plus side, it looks water-resistant" Phil said 

"I can't believe Haley's not going to prom, and Alex is" Luke said

"What's that supposed to mean? And Sophie's going too" Alex asked offended

"That's actually normal" Luke answered

"And I'm only going 'cause mom is making me" Sophie added

"You're gonna have fun, I promise" Claire told her

"Yeah, so much fun, and I know I keep saying it, Haley, but you should be going. It's a major moment in a teenager's life, and you're missing it" Phil said

"Proms are lame. It's just an excuse for dressed up dorks to ride in limos and hump each others" Haley told him

"Okay. Now I don't like the idea of Alex and Sophie going" Phil told Claire

"So it's settled" Sophie said happily

"Sweetie, I think we're fine. It's...it's Alex. And Sophie... Sophie's going" Claire said

"What's that supposed to mean" Alex asked again offended

"It means you're a geek" Luke answered

"You know what? You know what? I might just go crazy tonight and...and...and hook up all over him" Alex said defensively making everyone burst out laughing

"Mm-hmm. Okay" Claire said trying not to laugh

"Why are you laughing? That's not funny. I'm not even gonna wear my glasses!" Alex said and stormed out the kitchen

"I feel better now" Phil said

"All right, I'm going to the mall" Haley said

"Um, we need to talk, honey. We're worried about you. You haven't heard back from the college that wait-listed you, and all the rest of your friends have. And now you're just wasting time at the mall" Claire told her

"For your information, I've already filled out and dropped off my community college application. And plus also I'm going to the mall because I have a job interview" 

"What?"

"Really?" Phil and Claire asked

"You've got a job interview? That's great" Sophie said surprisedly happy

"Thanks. My guidance counselor suggested I take a gap year. You know, a year between high school and college where you take some courses, have some life experiences, and get inspired. And obviously, work at the GAP" Haley explained

Later, Phil was in the living room teaching Alex how to dance while Sophie refused and was sitting on the sofa with Claire putting nail polish on Sophie's toenails

"Always keep the rhythm in your feet. Then we're gonna add just a little party in the shoulders. All right? Now let's get those arms going. No, no, no. Arms down here says, "I'm white and I'm sorry" but arms up here says, "You don't know what I am" Phil said

"I-I don't" Alex said

"I'll go to prom but I'm telling you, if I see people dancing like that I'm running away and calling the police on you for traumatizing a child" Sophie told Claire that just chuckled

"You're never gonna believe it! You're never gonna believe it! You're never gonna believe it! Guess who got a job! I did! Oh, shoot. I just told you" Haley said entering the house
