"Aunt Mommy" is the 15th episode of the third season of the American sitcom Modern Family, and the series' 63rd episode overall. It was aired on February 15, 2012. The episode discusses the antics surrounding the surrogacy of Cam (Eric Stonestreet) and Mitch's (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) second child. There are problems surrounding the issue of which father would be the child's biological child, so Claire (Julie Bowen) offers them her egg. This would mean that both fathers share genetics with the child, but it would mean that Mitchell's child would be the child of his sister as well. Another plot line within the episode entails Manny (Rico Rodriguez) getting hurt while Jay (Ed O'Neill) was trying to convince him to play football because he thinks his son is too similar to his mother. Overall, the episode received positive reviews, but was not viewed by as many people compared to the previous episode. The episode was written by Abraham Higginbotham & Dan O'Shannon and directed by Michael Spiller.
