This is Cornflower's new favorite saying. (Virtual dark chocolate to anyone who guesses what movie it is from.) This quote goes well with one of her old favorite original lines: "But, Mommy, I haven't got any thoughts!"
Update: Queen Shenaynay guessed-- it was Colonel Brandon from Sense and Sensibility. And the more accurate quote, as she pointed out, is, "Give me an occupation or I shall run mad!" It seems Cornflower had it right originally, but then her sisters corrected her incorrectly.

Well, if it were "Give me an occupation or I shall run mad," then it would be Colonel Brandon in Sense & Sensibility.
;-)
A favorite line in our world, as well.
Did you ever wonder why Colonel is pronounced "kernel"?
Yes, thank you. Ours is the seven-year-old-child version, I suppose. ;o)
I wonder about the Colonel/kernel thing quite a lot, actually.
Well, I have to make a correction. The kids informed me that Cornflower was originally saying "I shall run mad," but her two older sisters convinced her that one cannot run mad, but must *go* mad. Evidently she was paying closer attention to the movie than they.
