Because let’s face it, I think we all wish our dads could take dad lessons from Phil Dunphy.Â
Â
1. When he knew what would make the absolute perfect family pet.
Because dogs are soooo overrated, obviously.
Â
2. When he knew how to appreciate true modern art.
Â
4. When he gave us the secret to true happiness.
…and the key to truly enjoying your big day
Â
5. When he taught us all how to properly bust a move and be the life of the party.
Â
6. That one time when he couldn’t resist making the dad joke.
Â
…or multiple times…
Â
Â
7. When he knew what to be properly worried about.
It is a valid question.
Â
8. When he demonstrated genuine interest in today’s pop-culture.
Â
9. When he came up with this fantastic tattoo idea.
Â
10. When the wording didn’t exactly come out right.
Hey, lending a helping hand isn’t always easy.
Â
11. When he was the epitome of dad fashion.
Â
12. When he perfectly summed up a parent’s job.
Â
13. And finally, when he taught us that, after a long day of being a dad, it’s good to unwind.
Â
So here’s to our beloved TV dad, Phil Dunphy.Â
 Yes, you are.
