Family Lexicon, Part 1 In a Series

"Sometimes I_____________to get attention."

Origin:
Michelle

Meaning:
This phrase can be used in almost any manner. I think originally it was "Sometimes I tell lies to get attention." It is used sarcastically, to poke fun at the speaker. We often just fill in the blank to suit whatever situation.

Examples:
Sometimes I blog to get attention. (My blogger tagline...)
Sometimes I crap in the floor to get attention. (That's for Ivy, I DON'T.)
Sometimes I sew boning to get attention. (This breaks the needle in the sewing machine, and it is loud and horrifying, and sometimes we have to get the machine fixed.)
Sometimes I post random embarrassing things on Facebook......



You get the idea. This phrase has become a running family joke.
Welcome to our world.
