Convinced My Husband Tim Fischer Is The Same Person As Phil Dunphy

“I'm a cool dad, that's my thang. I'm hip, I surf the web, I text. LOL means laugh out loud, OMG: oh my god, WTF: why the face” –Phil Dunphy
Ever since I first started watching Modern Family I have thought from day 1 that Tim is Phil and my opinion has not changed, the more I watch the show every new episode the character Phil will do or say something that reminds me of Tim. Here are just a few ways in which Phil reminds me of Tim! (and if you know Tim at all you will know what I'm talking about)

• Tim and Phil are both two very laid back people.
• Tim and Phil have a very endearingly child like attitude, Claire refer's to Phil as "The Child I Married", I can relate!
• Tim and Phil both have a serious case of Coulrophobia (FEAR OF CLOWNS) it's almost hard not to laugh when Tim is around a clown, because he quite literally freaks out very similar to how Phil freaks out in the show. 
• Tim and Phil are always in a good mood and tend to find joy in everything they do!
• Tim and Phil are both very goofy!
• Tim and Phil have very personable way of relating to people Tim will often treat you like you're pals before he even knows you well and will start calling you by your nicknames when he hears them for the first time. Phil is the same way and creates "cool" things like "manshakes" to relate to people. 
• Tim and Phil both don't plan things out! And both have to avoid getting in trouble with their wives for lack of planning! 
• Tim and Phil both like to have any excuse to break out their dance skills!
• Tim and Phil are both very competitive so much to the point that Phil will often beat his son at basketball games without any remorse. 
• Tim and Phil both have a great enthusiasm for life!
• Tim and Phil both have a sensitive side as seen in many episodes of Modern Family Phil will choke up during emotional moments very similar to my husband Tim. 
• Although we are not parents yet I believe  I got a taste of what type of parent Tim will be just by watching Phil on modern family. I think he too will refer to himself as "the cool dad" and have the parenting style of "Peeranting" which is the style of of parenting where you are both a friend and a parent. And when it comes time to step it up as Phil did during the episode where Haley gets kicked out of college I believe that Tim would also say something similar to "This is real life Haley not an excellent movie" (referring to legally blonde)

Such a Fun man I married!
