* Subverted in "Last Whiff of Summer", the [[MultiPartEpisode two-part]] fourth season premiere of ''TheMiddle''. Sue realizes that even the negative attention her older brother gets is attention, and decides to start going bad to get some of that from her parents. However, the transgressions she comes up with—not wearing her [[BracesOfOrthodonticOverkill headgear]] at night, wearing a red hair extension, and not taking her multivitamins—aren't really that serious. Double subverted by her parents not noticing or caring.
