"Little Bo Bleep" is the 13th episode of the third season of the American sitcom Modern Family. It premiered on ABC on January 18, 2012. The episode was written by Cindy Chupack and directed by Chris Koch.

"Little Bo Bleep" despite the controversy around Lily's (Aubrey Anderson-Emmons) plotline, having a toddler cursing, received positive reviews. The creator of the show, Steven Levitan, made it clear that Anderson-Emmons never really said the "fuck"; instead she said "fudge".

The whole family is invited to a wedding and needs to be ready for the event but first they have to deal with what they have to do for the day. Claire (Julie Bowen) has a debate against Duane Bailey (David Cross) for her run for town council; Jay (Ed O'Neill) worries about Stella's (Brigitte) suicidal behavior and Cam (Eric Stonestreet) and Mitch (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) have to deal with Lily (Aubrey Anderson-Emmons) and her new habit of using the "f-word".

Claire decided to run for town council (episode: Hit and Run) and she has to prepare for the upcoming debate against Duane, who is running for his seventh time. Phil (Ty Burrell) and the kids want to help her get ready, especially after a newspaper critic writes that people find her "angry and unlikable". They conduct a mock interview in the family living room, during which they all try to make her lose "bad" habits such as rolling her eyes, pointing her finger and being sarcastic.

At the Pritchett house, Jay worries about his dog Stella because she keeps jumping into the pool without knowing how to swim. He blames Gloria (Sofía Vergara) for Stella's suicidal behavior since Gloria does not love the dog and always screams at her.
