As Modern Family's Lilly Pritchett aka Audrey Anderson turns 18, have a look at her most savage dialogues from the show
Let's rewind, when Modern Family first aired back in 2009, baby Lilly (played originally by twins) was introduced in a full-blown Circle of Life moment by her theatrical dad Cameron and his ever-neurotic husband Mitchell. It was chaotic. It was camp. It was unforgettable.
But the game changed in season three when Audrey Anderson stepped into the role, and brought enough sass to set the entire Dunphy-Tucker-Pritchett clan ablaze. She did not just grow up; she came in swinging with enough burns to roast the whole extended family.
"Can I take a break? I wanna be alone."
Remember that time little Lilly wanted out of a dramatic photoshoot with her dad Cam and told Mitchell, deadpan, that she 'wants to be alone'? According to Cam, that cold stare was the exact emotion he had been trying to capture.
"Cry me a river. ... Sorry, should I call you a wahmbulance?"
Or the episode where she mercilessly dunked on her dads' emotions with a snarky 'Cry me a river,' followed by her new favourite comeback — the 'wahmbulance.' Claire, Mitchell's sister, may or may not have been the accidental sass mentor behind that transformation.
"Do you have any queens?" "Yeah, two big ones."
And then there is the GOAT moment: while playing Go Fish with Cam, he innocently asks if she has any queens. Without missing a beat, Lilly claps back with, 'Yeah, two big ones.' Cam is scandalised. Mitchell is somewhere in between laughing and traumatised. Classic.
"Sometimes, when you read to me, I pretend to fall asleep so you'll go."
Fast forward to one of the most brutally honest moments in Farm Strong, when Cam is being 'too emotional' — again. Lilly calmly tells him she sometimes pretends to be asleep just so he will stop reading to her. The entire fandom gasped. Some cried. Cam definitely cried.
"Daddy's just having a moment, he's always having a moment."
And let us not forget when Cam is 'having a moment' and Lilly shrugs it off like a seasoned therapist saying, 'He is always having a moment.' No lies detected.
So today, as Audrey Anderson steps into adulthood, we celebrate not just the actor, but the legacy of the sassiest, most brutally honest little legend TV has ever raised. Happy birthday, Audrey. Lilly may be fictional, but her burns? Eternal.
