What am I missing here? Why "not my family?" Did they mean like "oh no, not my family! How embarrassing for them to see!" It just reads really strange.
It's a newer type of phrase/way to start a sentence. It's kind of like a way to call attention to or put extra emphasis on the action taking place.
For example, say I got to an ice cream store and try 10 flavors. I could say "not me trying every flavor before getting a single scoop."
It kinda adds a sarcastic or lightheated feel to the sentence.
