I'm sorry to say...

Wordsworth, Harrison has a new saying. And it comes out at the funniest times. The first time I heard him say it was at a Chinese restaurant. We were ending the meal, and in a semi-exasperated voice Harrison say's, "Well, I'm sorry to say... (pause) but I have to go to the bathroom." I looked at him a little funny and off to the bathroom we went. Since then, he has used this phrase with me and pretty much no one else. It comes out in things like "I'm sorry to say, but Bennett needs a tissue." "I'm sorry to say, but Maddie is out of food." "I'm sorry to say, but I don't like this dinner." "I'm sorry to say, but you have had too much to drink, Mom." Maybe the last one is a stretch, but you get my point.
