"Like most parents, Modern Family&amp;apos;s Claire and Phil Dunphy [Julie Bowen and Ty Burrell] strive to maintain a united front as they raise their two children, and on the Oct. 9 episode of ABC&amp;apos;s comedy, the parents concoct a plan to both beg out of their son Luke&amp;apos;s soccer game on the same day.\r\n\r\nClaire launches into her plan -- mildly struggling with mom guilt at first -- as Luke suits up for his game, in his team jersey and a neck pillow. (&amp;quot;My neck gets pretty tired watching all those games,&amp;quot; benchwarmer Luke admits in the preview video clip above.)\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;We were talking about you maybe wanting to go to the game without us today,&amp;quot; Claire [Bowen] tells Luke [Nolan Gould]. &amp;quot;You can either ride with some of your teammates -- like the L.A. Kings -- or you can ride with us, like Gloria [Sofia Vergara] and Grandpa [Ed O&amp;apos;Neill] take Joe to play dates. Professional athletes, little poopy baby: Your call!&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThat does it for Luke, who decides to ride with a pal and leave mom and dad scot-free. Beams Claire, high-fiving Phil once they&amp;apos;re off cheering duty for the day: &amp;quot;Yes! I love that kid!&amp;quot;\r\n&amp;quot;Can you imagine how easy it&amp;apos;d be if it were just him? I mean . . . &amp;quot; replies Phil, as their daughter Alex [Ariel Winter] walks by. Deadpans a bored Alex: &amp;quot;I know what you mean!&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n Watch more of the Dunphy family&amp;apos;s antics in the video above before Modern Family airs Wednesday at 9 p.m. (EST) on ABC."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
