"Aunt Mommy" is the 15th episode of the third season of the American sitcom Modern Family, and the series' 63rd episode overall. It was aired on February 15, 2012. The episode was written by Abraham Higginbotham & Dan O'Shannon and directed by Michael Spiller.
Two of Cam (Eric Stonestreet) and Mitch's (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) friends, Steven (Colin Hanlon) and Stefan (Rodrigo Rojas), want to buy a new house and they ask their help so they can bring them in contact with Phil (Ty Burrell). The couple has recently had a son via a surrogate mother and that is the main reason they want to buy a new house. The deal is done and Phil and Claire (Julie Bowen) want to take out for dinner Cam and Mitch as a way to thank them.
At the dinner, Cam feels depressed because the process of their attempt to adopt a second baby is taking too long and the solution of surrogacy does not sound good because one of them would be left out since only one could be the biological father. All four of them are drinking while they are discussing and Claire ends up offering her egg to them so they can have a half-Pritchett and half-Tucker baby. Everyone seems ecstatic with her offer until next morning when they realized what they agreed to.
Mitch tells Cam that they can't accept Claire's offer because it will be weird to have his sister's kid. Phil also tells Claire that they can not do that and Claire agrees with him but none of the four knows how to tell each other that they changed their minds.
Meanwhile, Jay (Ed O'Neill) thinks that Manny (Rico Rodriguez) spends too much time with his mother Gloria (Sofía Vergara) and he tries to make him do more "guy" things and activities, like playing football instead of going to the theater or collecting lucky pennies. He tells Gloria that his friend did not find tickets for a theater play Manny wanted to go so he can take him to play football. Manny is injured at the football practice because he stops to pick up a penny. Gloria blames Jay for Manny's injury, especially after she finds out that his friend did find tickets for the play and Jay cancelled them so Manny can go to the football practice.
