On last night's Modern Family, each of the fathers of the family were asked what it means to be a great dad and it led to three great stories.

Phil was trying to teach his son responsability when he bought him a new bicycle; Cameron and Mitchell took Lily to a toddler class to play with other kids; and Jay tried to bond with Manny over installing a ceiling fan.
