Sitcom Life

I don't know if you watch Modern Family, but I do and it's hilarious. I was watching this week's episode (yes, 5 days late) and I have to give a shout out to Val Rickman for obviously giving the writers tips on how a good big sister acts. At the very beginning of the episode, the little brother Luke is trying to work on a school project. In this project, the goal is to create a container to drop an egg one story without it breaking. Luke brilliantly realizes that the answer must be right in from of him... the container is him. Hayley, being the good big sister, helps Luke over the second story railing and is placing the egg in his mouth when their mother catches them. The scene took me back to stories of little Josh Rickman being guided under the kitchen table and told to stand up. What a good big sis and future comedy writer Val was. You should probably just drop out of law school and start making millions writing a new prime time comedy. The notes from the scribes we hired in college should be useful.
