Category problem with children and category__not_in

Scenerio: I'm trying to get the first post that is in the specific category that I want, not the children of it.

Parent category (the cat I want to find the post in) = 17
Child Category of that category = 36

$exclude_array = // array(27) { [0]=> int(24) [1]=> int(21) [2]=> int(23) [3]=> int(10) [5]=> int(34) [6]=> int(33) [7]=> int(32) [8]=> int(31) [9]=> int(30) [10]=> int(6) [11]=> int(22) [12]=> int(5) [13]=> int(16) [14]=> int(20) [15]=> int(37) [16]=> int(26) [17]=> int(19) [18]=> int(36) [19]=> int(38) [20]=> int(35) [21]=> int(27) [22]=> int(7) [23]=> int(25) [24]=> int(29) [25]=> int(18) [26]=> int(1) [27]=> int(28) }

^^ notice [18] => int(36) - These are all categories that I do not want to include in this query including children of 17 or otherwise.

$args = array (
  'category__in' => array(17),
  'category__not_in' => $exclude_array,
  'order' => $sortOrder,
  'showposts' => 1
 );


The results bring up the first post in the category 36., which is a child of 17, which I purposely excluded.
